Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
This vineyard has sweeping sun exposures from
southeast to northwest and sits at nearly 1,200-feet in
elevation. It has nine distinct blocks of Zinfandel
and each is harvested at different times and
fermented separately to ensure the integrity and
uniqueness of each block. The varied sun exposures,
soil compositions, slopes and drainages make these
sites a winemaking dream come true and are what
make our Rockpile Ridge Zinfandel so spectacular.
Winemaker Notes
The 2021 vintage carries all of the signature aromas
expected from Zinfandel grown in Rockpile: candied
Santa Rosa plum; crushed violet candy; milk
chocolate shavings; espresso grounds; spice and
graphite. This incredible iteration of Rockpile Ridge
Zinfandel is singularly defined by its detailed texture.
The entry is silky, and the texture is fine-grained and
velvety with lingering flavors of ripe red fruits and
sweet earth. This energetic Zin will benefit from at
least 1-2 years of bottle age. Enjoy over the next 10-
12 years.
