Bruce is from the JW Moore Vineyard in Lodi, 90 acres planted exclusively to Zinfandel, 20 of which are still head pruned. Planted in 1962, it’s registered with the Historic Vineyard Society. The label does not mention the fruit source because this wine was produced as a private label, for a project that was left incomplete.

The hearty, bold flavors in Zinfandel make it a natural companion for the rich and flavorful world of BBQ. Try ribs, grilled chicken, roast lamb, pulled pork, pork chops, blackened salmon, bacon-wrapped tenderloin, game meats, and burgers! Go for vegetables with big flavor: Think caramelized onion, fire-roasted red peppers or tomatoes, grilled eggplant, mushrooms, olives, zucchini, or even baked beans.
