Wine Advocate Review
Rated 96
The 2019 Isthmus is a fragrant, easy-to-drink blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot from the Nuns Canyon Vineyard (89%) and the Hamel Family Ranch Vineyard (11%). Matured for 18 months in 22% new French oak barrels, it has a deep ruby color and a nose that is bursting with Morello cherries, baked blueberries, charcuterie, fried savory herbs and peppercorn - complex yet open for business. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is concentrated and floral with persistent acidity, silty tannins and fragrant violet and graphite nuances on the long finish. Drink Date: 2023-2037.

CELLAR SELECTION
With earthy notes of bay leaf, dried herb and crushed rock, this wine is made from estate sites from a variety of Bordeaux grapes. Youthfully grippy and intense, it shows great complexity and length, with firm tannin and plenty of room for aging; enjoy best from 2029-2034.
Wine Tasting Notes
A 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.
53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Alcohol 14.5%
