Mike & Molly Hendry Zinfandel "R.W. Moore Vineyard" Napa Valley 2013

Planted in 1905, the year before the San Francisco earthquake. Head pruned, scraggly vines planted in eastern Napa. Shows the complexity that old vines (5% combined Petite Sirah, Carignane, Mourvedre and Napa Gamay) give and still the richness and power this vineyard is famous for (think back to Turley "Moore Earthquake" if you had the pleasure). Blackberry pie, sassafras, black pepper, cinnamon toast. Strong. A Big Zin lover's Zin
