Mike and Molly Hendry 2013 R.W. Moore Vineyard Zinfandel (Coombsville)
French and Hungarian oak cradle the dusty juice of old vines in this soft, integrated wine, brawny in strawberry, orange zest and cheese rind. Black pepper and a note of leather close out the lengthy, spicy finish. Virginie Boone

Well done as every vintage of Mike´s wines. This Zin is soft and sofisticated, it for people like me, who works with California wine on daily basis and drink a lot of Zinfandel and need something more complex and deep than usual stuff. Wine is earty, aromas of black pepper, licorice, dried plums and tobacoo. Tannins are really soft and I like the Hungarian oak touch inside. This wine will be way better in 5-10 years, because it is shy right now, but will develop to beautiful, complex and long grown up in several years. Worth to buy if you can.
