Sounds like a sitcom, but in this particular case it isn't. Instead, Mike & Molly Hendry is a really solid Zinfandel from an old head-trained vineyard (not far from Vinoland) in the Coombsville AVA. Mike Hendry is nephew to George Hendry of one of my favourite wineries, Hendry. Must be some good wine-DNA in the Hendry genes. The 2016, R.W. Moore Vineyard is my type of Zinfandel. Hailing from a vineyard that is 115 years young, on the nose this Zinfandel is clean and bright with brambly fruits and spice. In the mouth this wine is focused with candied raspberry, perfumey-blackberry, mulling spices, vanilla essence and acid. Yes, great acidity which balances the wine really well, so that it doesn't display any hotness on the palate. A lovely Zin. Like all Zinfandels, it's not a wine that I would cellar for an extended period of time. But why would I? This wine is one to be enjoyed right now.

Pricy Zinfandel is the Hendry wine I've had the pleasure of purchasing and enjoying.
Great review!
NHW: This was just a little more expensive than Hendry Winery's Zinfandel.
Thank you.
