Hamel Family Wines Estate Zinfandel - This wine is rich, deep garnet in color. The aroma shows ripe blackberry and spice, with hints of toasty, smoky oak. The flavors are bold, with juicy berry fruit and a supple texture leading to a long finish. 192 cases produced. 15.0% Alc/Vol

Floral, fruity, smoky, and very Zinfandel. Great structure to be this wine - was very surprised to see that the alcohol comes to a mammoth 15.9%.

An easy drinking zin. Nice texture not a lot of depth but super enjoyable. Light Brambley fruit.

Full bodied but surprisingly sweet on the nose with a sherry oak taste. 6 year anniversary
