Always a favorite wine at Hatcher.  We bought the Angels Camp vineyard in 2003 from a very good friend named Dorian Faught (former owner of the Murphys Historic Hotel).   Dorian and his wife, Crystal, are still good friends and you will find them pouring wine at our wine club dinners.  The nose is beautiful, very floral with a firm presence of American oak.  Layered flavors of raspberry and plum.  Medium bodied with a long finish.  Maybe we are a little biased because we grow the fruit, but this is sure to be a favorite.  We’re proud to grow and make this wine.  We think it’s a good example of a Zinfandel.  Great with BBQ chicken.  Be sure to use Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet N Spicy.
