Winemaker Notes
Peter Haywood began planting the Los Chamizal Vineyard on the rugged hills of Sonoma in 1976. The fractured rock terraces and steep hillsides expose the vines to the sun's rays from down to dusk yielding intense flavor-packed fruit. Haywood Zinfandel is known for its concentrated fruit, spicy flavor, and black pepper overtones.

Haywood Estates Los Chamizal Vineyard overlooks the historic town of Sonoma in the southern reaches of the Mayacamas Mountains. Guided by founder Peter Haywood, Los Chamizal Vineyard produced its first crush in 1980, and so began the legacy of robust, elegant Zinfandels.
The soils are shallow - six inches to two feet – giving way to fractured red rock or volcanic tuft soil. The low nutrient levels contribute to the intense character of the wines by limiting growth and restricting leaf production. Cooling wind and fog off the mountain and from nearby San Francisco Bay keep the days temperate and the nights cool. The vineyard is comprised of eight blocks, two of which have been separated out due to their unique and distinctive characters: Rocky Terrace and Morning Sun.
