Mike and Molly 2018 “R.W. Moore” Zinfandel, Coombsville Napa Valley

Robert Parker: “Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the Mike And Molly Zinfandel charges out of the gate with gregarious scents of stewed plums, baked blackberries and raspberry pie plus suggestions of incense, Chinese five spice and tobacco leaf with a waft of hoisin. Full-bodied, concentrated and ever so spicy, the palate is packed with baked berry flavors with lively acidity to balance and pleasantly chewy tannins, finishing long and peppery.”

FMW 93 Points: “This zin has character.  It is a graceful, loaded with bright rich red and black fruit.  Full in body and well-structured on the palate.  The is lush and offers up some baking spice, black pepper and leather on the long lingering finish.”

Winemaker Notes: “Full bodied, yet graceful and smooth on the palate, this wine is delicious now but will show well for years to come. Characterized by black, brambly fruit, pepper, and warm spices.”

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points: ” This is a richly layered and complex wine from the great estate site. It is juicy and expressive in bold flavors of cherry and blackberry. With a softness to the palate, it invites one into a supple tannin structure and integrated oak, finishing in just a subtle hint of vanilla.”
