Opened and poured. wow, what a monster jam bomb this was. This is what Bacchus would pour Adam and Eve before a romp in the Garden of Eden. Sweet, jammy, thick without being too overdone. Reminiscent of a bottle of elderberry syrup. Blacks and brambles and mouth coating lip smacking hedonistic jam. Reminds me of some of the late 90s/early 00s Rosenblum fruit bombs. If you are in the mood for this, it doesn't get much better.

After a 30 minute decant it was lush and spicy. Went great with homemade flatbread pizza with figs, goat cheese/gorganzola, prosciutto and arugula. Great pairing.

Neighbors really liked it also. Slightly sweet, but a consistent winner from Biale and this vineyard. Other than the slightly sweetness, well balanced with virtually no discernable tannins.

(Robert Biale Vineyards Zinfandel R.W. Moore Vineyard, Napa Valley) Here, the co-fermentation of some Petite Sirah and Carignane and the low-yielding, cooler-climate site produce even zestier, more buoyant, yet silkier, lacier, almost Pinot-like qualities, packed with black-cherry and blackberry fruit and replete with cinnamon and allspice perfumes.
