"The 2021 Zinfandel R.W. Moore Vineyard is cut from the same cloth, with red, blue, and black fruits as well as dried herbs, orange blossoms, and savory, spicy notes. It's a medium-bodied, elegant Zinfandel to drink over the coming 7-8 years."

"Flavors of pomegranate, black plum, orange zest and rootbeer mean this Zinfandel is simultaneously friendly and impressively serious. The tannins are lightly grippy with the potential to age, while the palate is mouthwatering and lengthy. Complexity and detail makes this wine stand out. Cellar Selection. —E.C.B."

"This polished red retains a classic sense of Zinfandel briar, with multilayered flavors of black cherry, roasted anise and pepper that race toward vibrant tannins. Drink now through 2032. —T.F."

"A focused, well-balanced and driven zinfandel from Coombsville. It has aromas of red berries, red plums, sweet spices and a touch of hazelnuts. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. A vivid core of spices complements the fruity and textural mid-palate and the berry-like finish. Drink or hold."
