Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
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. The texture is
seamless and accessible and the wine resolves perfectly,
with a multi-layered and persistent finish of ripe red
fruit, warm sweet spices and earth tones.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2021 Rockpile Får Zinfandel is only the second
iteration of this exceptional mountain-grown
Zinfandel. It takes its name from the Swedish word for
sheep and pays homage to our family’s heritage as
pioneering homesteaders originally from Stockholm,
who raised merino sheep for the wool on land that’s
now the heart of our vineyards in Rockpile.
Shipping Notes
While 12 months of patient aging will reveal additional
secondary and tertiary attributes, the juicy fruit can be
appreciated now and throughout the next 5-7 years.
