CHW Confidential
In 2019, we had trouble finding a Zinfandel pushed all the right buttons. And then, one day, we got lucky.
During one of our blending sessions with the Cameron Hughes winemaking team, we were putting together an exciting Red Blend from a host of grape sources when our noses all landed—and kept landing—in glasses of a particular Sonoma County Zinfandel.
It was wild—blackberry and red currant, tobacco notes, exotic spices, and sandalwood with firm, taut tannins. Could this be a complete wine, all its own? It took some convincing, but we peeled it off the source winery after convincing them it was so good that we had to have it for our own—as Black Label Zin.
Historically, the best California Zins have come from Sonoma (just like Lot 941), and the top-tier wines that come to mind are icons like Martinelli’s Jackass Hill or those from Williams Selyem, Limerick Lane, or Turely—and they cost upwards of $65-$130 per bottle. Our Black Label Lot 941 is only $29 per bottle, and we’d put it right up against any $65+ bottle at the Tasting Table.
So, where does this fit in your collection? We’re pairing this Zin with Mexican fare and reserving a spot at the table for several bottles this Thanksgiving. Won’t you join us?
