"From a Coombsville vineyard that dates back to 1905 there has been some replacement of dead vines over the years, the 2023 Zinfandel R.W. Moore Vineyard gives up exotic aromas of peppered stone fruit yellow peach and red plum. It's medium- to full-bodied, framed by plenty of silky tannins and lingers elegantly on the finish. It's a must-try wine for fans of Napa Zinfandel-or of any Zinfandel, for that matter."

"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. 690 cases made. - TF"
