2021 Rockpile Black Sheep Zinfandel

Our intention with Black Sheep is to make the purest expression of Rockpile Zinfandel. Initially, this beautiful Zinfandel greets you with a fantastic expression of juicy summer blackberry cobbler, purple violet petal and dried red fruits. Then a pulse of the classic vein of Rockpile minerality starts to reveal itself and finally finishes with intricate undertones of dried savory herbs and sweet earthen char. On the palate, there is great freshness and perfectly structured tannins that provide the hallmark signature of Rockpile’s power. This iteration of Black Sheep has incredible depth and energy, despite its youthful nature. Built to age, this Zinfandel will drink beautifully for at least the next 10 years.
