Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
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.
While 12 months of patient aging will reveal additional
secondary and tertiary attributes, the juicy fruit can be
appreciated now and throughout the next 7+ years.
Winemaker Notes
The warm 2022 growing season resulted in Rockpile
Zinfandels with incredible depth and richness, and this,
the first of our Rockpile Zins to be released from that
vintage, is a perfect example. Created to honor the
pioneering and persevering women throughout the
generations of our family, this wine exudes finesse.
