Rockpile Wines

Our 2022 Rockpile Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel exudes rich aromas of warm baked blackberry cobbler, black fig drizzled in balsamic, crushed sassafras and sweet earthen spice with lingering notes of cola berry. The entry is driven by ripe juicy dark fruits, a firm core of mountain tannins and lingering flavors of spice. This Zinfandel will be even more fabulous with 1-2 hours of aeration.

Its harmonious aromatics entice with ripe red fruits, warm, melted milk chocolate shavings, wild dried brush, mineral and glazed dark fruits. Dense and full-bodied, it has ample juicy red and dark fruits, with lingering tones of dried herbs and sweet earth. An almost chewy texture balances generous tannins and a long, 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.

A multi-layered aromatic profile of candied blueberry, summer blackberry preserves, espresso grounds and roasted almond gives way to soft tones of magnolia blossom and sweet earthy char. The texture is effortless, balancing mountain-grown power and restraint. This wine resolves perfectly, with a persistent finish of ripe black fruits and a lovely, defining freshness.

This 2021 Rockpile Zinfandel exudes detailed aromas of kirsch, orange rind, milk chocolate and warm toasted almond. It’s strikingly harmonious and layered with sweet brambly fruits and ripe Santa Rosa plum, with additional undertones of warm baking spices.

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.
