Rockpile Wines

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 Zinfandels of the 2021 vintage are simply transcendent.  Seductive and precise with incredible depth and sophistication. This wine is everything you expect from a Rockpile Zin:  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.

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.

Aromatics include coffee, sweet blue and black fruits, vanilla bean and undertones of savory dried herb. The texture is seamless, with mountain-grown power and restraint.

Ripe red and black fruits dusted with sweet loam, mineral, and baker’s chocolate. With further aeration, this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals distinctive notes of dried underbrush and candied violet.  Full and fleshy, with incredible purity through the mid palate; juicy red fruits, vanilla notes, and a return of mineral.

On the nose, this wine exudes crushed fresh summer-ripened blackberry, perfumy violet petals, candied blueberry and a subtle pulse of shaved green peppercorn. With some aeration, the palate opens to juices of a baked blackberry cobbler. Silky tannins, with details of roasted coffee bean complement the long dark-fruit and energetic finish.
