2021 Robert Biale 'RW Moore Vineyard" Coombsville Zinfandel

100% Zinfandel from the oldest vineyard in Coombsville- planted in 1905! The Moore Vineyard lies smack dab in the district’s middle on Hagen Road adjacent to Sarco Creek with a looming Mt. George to the east. Fruit is hand-harvested, sorted in the field, and sorted again at the winery. Destemmed, the grapes are then fermented in open top tanks with punch downs gently carried out two to three times per day. Pressed, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in 100% French oak barrels, of which 30% was new. Aged for a total of 10 months in barrel. 

93 points, Wine Spectator. "A handsome red that's zesty yet refined, with lively black cherry, spice and cinnamon flavors that flesh out toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now."

93 points, Wine Enthusiast. "Broad, soft and plush, this rich and ripe wine from a vineyard planted in 1905 drips blackberries, blueberry syrup and plumjam flavors. A full body and posh, fine-grained tannins give the mouthfeel good heft. The wine is packed with intense, almost-sweet fruits."
