2016 Hamel Family 'Isthmus' Red Sonoma Valley Magnum (1.5L)

This magnum is pure California class—power, polish, and pedigree all in one generous pour. Crafted by 100-point winemaker Martha McClellan (of Vineyard 7&8 and Levy & McClellan fame), the 2016 Isthmus is a bold blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Merlot from the Hamel family’s biodynamically farmed estate vineyards in the Moon Mountain District and western Mayacamas.

From the first swirl, it’s love at first sniff: blackberry cobbler, alpine violets, warm spice, and fresh thyme. The palate delivers on every promise—ripe mountain fruit, elegant tannins, and the kind of structure and grace that make you do a double take. It’s the kind of wine that steals the show at a dinner party (or a backyard BBQ—we tested it).

Add in the dream team behind it—terroir guru Pedro Parra, vineyard maestro Garrett Buckland, and Martha McClellan at the helm—and you’ve got a magnum-worthy red that’s firing on all cylinders.

A pedigreed powerhouse wrapped in a party-sized bottle—bring this beauty home and let it shine.
