R.W. Moore Vineyard Zinfandel

My dog Zinny loves this wine. He says the nose shows sweet, oozy blackberry, moist gravelly earth, and baking spice. In the mouth, it's so soft, with lots of brambly, barky notes, almost like a Bandol but riper and less structured. Lingering finish. At its apogee. Sadly, my last bottle of this one.

Smooth encroaching Zin. Old school. The balance hides the 15% abv. Woodsy spice and cola and Dr Pepper. Moderate tannin. Very much enjoyed this.

Beautiful Zin to go with our pork cutlet parmesan. Sultry black raspberry fruit with a bit of gravelly earth and baking spice. Not hot. Not jammy. Goldilocks. Especially with red sauced Italian food.

Elegant, rich nose of ripe blackberry, maple syrup, tobacco leaf and almost Chianti Classico-esque gravel. Velvety soft and nicely balanced, but with intense flavors. Alcohol is 15% but it's not noticeable at all. I always feel like I'm drinking history when I have a wine with 100+ year old vines.

2017. A little more oak and drying tannin let the alcohol show more on finish. Maybe the half bottle we are taking home will open up more…

Lighter bodied Zinfandel. High alcohol (15.5%) but does not taste “hot”. Good nose, went well with charcuterie and pizza (or so I was told).

Nice ruby red color. Smells nice. Rose petals, olives and cherry. Flavor is subdued and thoughtful. Some nice anise and olive oil notes blend with the very berry party. It’s a classy and well structure cool climate Zin. Berry and cherry make a cheerful and slightly serious wine that has the soul of zin, but some Syrah and petite Verdot like elements as well.

Really nice! I do not find this as light bodied as some reviewers. A really well balanced wine that has the classic zin elements. Very happy to drink this.

Light and delicious. Very fruity with a sweet note that dissipates as it breathes. Not as spicy or meaty Zinfandel but still a thicker wine.
