Haywood Winery Rocky Terrace Zinfandel 2012
About the wine
Perfectly aged Reserve Zin from the rocky Sonoma hills
-
Angel funding gave Peter the chance to put extra TLC into this estate wine from Los Chamizal - and he's thanking you with a rich Zinfandel that's lush and silky from start to end.
-
Layered with rich fruits grown in volcanic basalt, Peter has carefully blended this bold Zin to bring out its peppery tendencies. This Sonoma-grown red is all spice, no jam.
-
This spicy, powerful Reserve is a great match for whatever emerges from an outdoor oven - like homemade, thin-crust pizza, topped with loads of cheese and cured meats.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Peter Haywood
- Peter made such good wine a big corporation came to buy his brand name. They paid big bucks to use his name but they never cared about the talented winemaker that was behind the excellent wine.
- While the brand got sold from one corporation to the next, Peter went on growing great grapes and making good wine under different names.
- If you care more about the winemaker than about the brand name, buy a bottle of Peter's wine.
