Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Jack’s Cabin Zinfandel is a delicious and complex wine. 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. Please enjoy over the next 6-9 years.
Vineyard Notes
Planted at nearly 950 feet in elevation and roughly 15 degrees slope, the Jack’s Cabin Vineyard is one of Rockpile’s premier sites. It has a southern sun exposure and is planted with the meandering natural slope of the bench. Relatively hidden from the coastal breezes that howl through Rockpile, this vineyard is the least stressed of all the blocks.
Winemaker Notes
Named after one of the area’s earliest settlers, the Jack’s Cabin site has quite a colorful history. Though Jack Ireland’s primary occupation was clearing land for sheep and cattle grazing, he was most known for his moonshine and disregard for the law. Apparently, he spent many a night in the county jail. When my father, and grandfather before him, were growing up on the property, only the tattered remnants of Jack’s house remained. The old decrepit structure only strengthened the notion that the “cabin” was haunted, and thus was born the legend of Jack’s Cabin!
