Rockpile Wines

The Zinfandels of the 2021 vintage are simply transcendent: Seductive and precise with incredible depth and sophistication. And this wine is everything you expect from a Rockpile Zin, including aromas of candied Santa Rosa plum, crushed violet candy, milk chocolate shavings, espresso grounds, spice and graphite. The entry is silky and the texture is fine-grained and velvety with lingering flavors of ripe red fruits and sweet earth.

Our 2021 Jack’s Cabin Zinfandel is a delicious and complex wine. Aromatics include sticky blackberry compote, espresso grounds and purple iris petal, with a soft dusting of cedar and vanilla. A beautiful intensity persists on the palate, with explosive fresh blue and black fruits, coffee bean and dried herbs. An almost chewy texture balances generous tannins and a lingering fresh finish.

The growing season for this vintage yielded Zinfandels with transcendent plushness and sophisticated character. The Får also has a complex aromatic profile reminiscent of dark fruit compote, savory dried herbs, crushed graphite and red earth mineral.

Stunning perfume of violet petals, black cherry preserves, and chocolate box gives way to soft tones of dark plum flesh and sweet earthen char. The texture is effortless, with mountain-grown power and restraint. This wine resolves perfectly, with a multi-layered, persistent finish of ripe black fruits and a lovely, defining freshness.

Our Rockpile Cabernet is beautifully detailed on the nose, with perfumed notes of black cherries, dried violets, loganberry, dusty iron red earth, shaved cocoa bean, woodsmoke, coastal dried underbrush and anise. Its vibrant and energetic entry leads to the expected full-bodied expression of a Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon.
