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 Får has a complex aromatic profile of lush ripe dark fruits, smoked herbs, coffee and a touch of purple alyssum. 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. 

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.

48% Petite Sirah, 41% Zinfandel, 11% Syrah

Petite Sirah plays a dominant role in our 2023 Madrone Spring Red Wine. With intense pigmentation, this release combines notes of crushed sweet blueberries, cured meats, herbed olive and toasted almond with undertones of vanilla pod and powdered sugar. Firm and voluptuous tannins, a hallmark of Rockpile fruit, provide further reward.

Beautiful undertones of shaved cocoa and vanilla pod, as well as swirls of meaty and savory star of anise and sweet woodsmoke. Its youthful and energetic entry leads to the expected full-bodied expression of a Rockpile Cabernet. 

59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot, 12% Merlot, 9% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc

This multi-layered Bordeaux blend walks a fine line between the expected ripeness of a dry, warm growing season and the freshness that is the hallmark of our wines. Intriguing aromas of red cassis, licorice, cured meats, dried lavender, cigar wrapper and shavings of dark cacao are prominent.

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.
