The 2023 McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard Zinfandel is a distinctive Margaret River red showing blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum with violet, pepper, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and generous, with fresh acidity, supple tannins and layers of dark fruit, savoury herbs and gentle pepper. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent, with a fresh mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Zinfandel drinkers looking for an Australian expression with ripe fruit and savoury complexity. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Pair with smoky beef brisket, lamb kofta with sumac, pork ribs with fennel or roasted eggplant with tomato and herbs.
