"The 2023 Zinfandel R.W. Moore Vineyard, from a site planted in 1905 in Coombsville, is another wine in this range that oozes character. Black fruit, graphite, leather, incense, dried herbs and lavender lend sepia-toned intensity to this decidedly virile, structured offering. I would give the 2023 a year or two in the cellar, as it is pretty forbidding today."

"Brambly yet tightly focused, with deep blackberry flavors highlighted by grilled anise and savory cracked pepper as this gathers tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2034. 690 cases made."
