Haywood Winery Morning Sun Zinfandel 2011
About the wine
Expert Zinfandel from Haywood's Sonoma Estate
- This is top-end Zinfandel from one of the most pristine vineyards in Sonoma Valley. Peter Haywood knows his grapes, extracting giant flavor and complexity from the rocky hillside fruit on his Estate.
- Peter grows his grapes in a small valley called Chamizal, nestled in the Sonoma hills, where select cuttings are planted on terraces carved from the rocky slopes. It has the perfect exposure to the sun every morning– and more sun means more explosive ripe fruit.
- Angels gave Peter the chance to let go of all the anxiety around marketing and selling top-end wine on his own. Thanks to you, he's able to invest 100% of his energy into his vineyards...and this oh-so-smooth Zinfandel.

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.
