Chase Cellars 2015 Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel, Napa Valley. 94 Points Robert Parker: "Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard is redolent of crushed black cherries, plum preserves and blueberry pie with hints of chocolate box, Indian spices and cardamom plus touches of dried herbs and prunes. Full-bodied and laden with black fruit preserves and spice cake flavors, it has approachable, chewy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and spicy. 690 cases were made." Winery Notes: "Our historic Hayne Vineyard is home to 112-year old heritage Zinfandel vines. Dry-farmed, head-trained, hand-tended and sustainably managed, our old vines have some incredible qualities including an almost mysterious ability to maintain beautiful, mouth-watering acidity even with extended hang times. We’re able to make ripe, powerful and complex wines without compromising overall balance and finesse. This is the Holy Grail in winemaking and just one of the secrets of our heritage vines."
