Haywood 1996 Los Chamizal Estate Rocky Terr Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)
- $23
From a favored corner of the vineyard. Darker and slightly more concentrated than the estate wine. Bursting with blueberry, chocolate, and spice aromas and flavors. Great texture, softly tannic, fine and chewy.

Haywood 1996 Los Chamizal Estate Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)
- $16
This is Zin! Opens with a huge burst of bright berry fruit and spices. Powerful and intense, it tastes rich and complex, with very extracted fruit and fancy tannins. Great mouthfeel, really delicious.

Haywood 1998 Los Chamizal Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)
- $20
Deep briary, wild-berry and pepper aromas. In the mouth, it’s ripe and sweetly fruity, with soft tannins and pepper-spice notes. It’s bone dry, with adequate acidity. Classic Sonoma Zin in its expressive exuberance and unpolished likeability.

Haywood 2004 Los Chamizal Vineyard Rocky Terrace Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
My scores for Haywood Zins from Los Chamizal have been all over the board over the years, suggesting real vintage differences. In a cool year it can be tough and tannic. In a warm vintage, like this ‘04, the fruit is showcased, rich in blackberry jam, blueberries and cassis, with a long, dry, spicy finish.

Haywood 2006 Los Chamizal Vineyard Morning Sun Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)
- $35
Dry and spicy, with some peppery heat throughout, this massively structured Zin is packed with superripe blackberry, black cherry, dark chocolate, cola, dusty spice and anisette flavors. It’s a big, bold wine that calls for similar food.

Haywood 1998 Morning Sun Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- $30
Opens with aromas of wild berries, white pepper, earth and a trace of leather. Tough and unyielding tannins coat the palate, and you’ll need some meat to break through this gridlock, but underneath it all is a core of ripe dark-berry fruit. This could use 3–6 years of aging.

Haywood 1998 Rocky Terrace Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- $35
This is a challenging Zin. It’s fruity but it’s also earthy and mushroomy, with a blast of vanilla oak. Right now it’s pretty tannic, but beneath that roughness is a core of fruit. It’s austere now—difficult even—but some time in the cellar could soften and open it.
— S.H.
