Mike & Molly Hendry

Zinfandel 2022
R.W. Moore Vineyard
Coombsville, Napa Valley

Few wines can claim a lineage as storied as Mike & Molly Hendry’s 2022 R.W. Moore Vineyard Zinfandel. Sourced from vines planted in 1905, this wine embodies Napa’s earliest viticultural chapters, still dry-farmed and head-trained, yielding fruit that speaks with both power and precision. Its gnarled vines produce a Zinfandel of remarkable freshness, offering a rare glimpse into the valley’s heritage.

This historic site is lovingly cared for by Molly’s uncle, Bill Moore, whose stewardship has safeguarded the vines for generations. Recognized by the U.C. Davis Heritage Project for its unique genetic material, the vineyard stands as a relic of the past and a living laboratory, ensuring its legacy will continue to inform California viticulture for generations.

Mike & Molly craft the wine with a light hand, allowing the vineyard to speak first. Fermented and aged in French oak, with portions in neutral barrels to preserve purity, the 2022 Zinfandel balances richness with elegance. Its supple texture and polished tannins carry flavors of dark fruit and spice in a seamless arc that lingers long after each sip, giving an elegant reminder of what Napa Zinfandel can achieve.

“From a Coombsville vineyard planted in 1905 (once made by Turley and offered as Moore Earthquake), Mike and Molly Hendry’s 2022 Zinfandel R.W. Moore Vineyard is a beauty and very reasonably priced for the quality. This dry-farmed, head-trained old vineyard is actually about 95% Zinfandel, with small proportions of Mourtaou (Cabernet Pfeffer), Carignan, Mourvèdre and Petite Sirah. Complex fruit notes of stone fruit, plum and black cherries mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky and expansive without being at all overweight or cooked and boasts a long, fresh finish.”
