The nose is vivid and layered, offering notes of sage, currants, juicy black plums, and a subtle sappy quality. On the palate, the wine is generous and expressive, featuring ripe, dark fruit and spice notes. Despite the generous mouthfeel, the tannins are elegantly integrated with a nice acidity, carrying a perfumed long finish. Drink Date: 2025-2035.Wine Tasting NotesA deep ruby tone in the glass, Hamel Family Wines Isthmus Sonoma Red displays notes of black fruits and cassis over an aromatic fabric of iron, clove, graphite, cedar and balsam. Dense and layered in texture, the palate shows ripe and juicy black fruit tannins woven into a monolith of structure. Through the richness, an integrated freshness and streak of minerality invigorates the wine towards a sustained and powerful finish. An Isthmus for the ages, the wine is just at the tip of accessibility, but will continue to develop and reward those who cellar over the next twenty years. For near term consumption, a decant will allow the wine to show its full depth.76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 7% MourvedreAlcohol 14.1%
