Rockpile Wines

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.
 

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.

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 12% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot
Our 2021 Buck Pasture takes full advantage of this incredible fruit. It’s multi-dimensional on the nose, with intriguing aromas of red and dark fruits, sweet forest floor, sweet spice, dark cacao and savory herbs.

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.

25% Tinto Cao, 25% Tinta Madeira,
25% Touriga Nacional, 25% Sousão

It's savory and rich on the palate, with crumbs of fruitcake and highlights of sweet baking spice.
