title: Hawley 2011 Ponzo Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
description: Classic Sonoma Zin—dry, tannic and spicy. Shows the briary, brambly side of the variety, with wild blueberry, blackberry and cola flavors finished with exotic spices and a hint of dark chocolate. The addition of Petite Sirah may be responsible for the sizable tannins. This is a wine that will last for many years, gradually softening, but it's best enjoyed soon for its fruity exuberance.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Ponzo Vineyard
