Haywood Winery Los Chamizal Zinfandel 2011
About the wine
Rich and rare Reserve Zinfandel from the Sonoma Hills
- It's time to see what five years of age on an Estate Zin can do. This red's rich and deep fruit gave it plenty of structure in 2011, and it's been softening its way into smoky bliss ever since.
- Peter's Zin a dark treasure trove of flavor, thanks to a six-part blend made with budwood older than the Prohibition era. All that expert hybrid grafting has filled this Sonoma hills Zinfandel with exquisite and incredibly rare fruit.
- Your Angel-funded winemaker says: "Great wine starts in the vineyard...and these vineyards are what I'm passionate about. Thanks to Angel funding, I can now spend more time nurturing my vines and producing the high-quality fruit into special wines, exclusively for you."

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.
