McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard Zinfandel 2021 from Margaret River is a bold, juicy single‑vineyard Zin packed with black cherry, dark plum and raspberry compote, layered with red liquorice, five‑spice, cocoa and a savoury, earthy edge. It is rich and expressive without feeling heavy, with that unmistakable Hazel’s Vineyard stamp.

The palate is full‑bodied yet surprisingly fresh, with crunchy red fruits, sweet‑spiced plum and dark chocolate carried by lively natural acidity and smooth, cocoa‑dusty tannins. It sits in that sweet spot between plush, fruit‑driven generosity and fine, structured shape, so you can happily drink it young or cellar it for close to a decade to gain more savoury, dried‑fruit complexity.

Food‑wise, McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard Zinfandel 2021 is made for slow‑cooked and flame‑kissed dishes: think smoky ribs, brisket, burgers, grilled lamb, spicy sausages, rich pizza and tomato‑based pasta, as well as hard, full‑flavoured cheeses and hearty, rustic plates.
