Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The growing season for this vintage yielded Rockpile Zinfandels with abundant fruit detail and density. 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.
While 12 months of patient aging will reveal additional secondary and tertiary attributes, the this wine’s juicy fruit can be appreciated now and throughout the next 5-7 years.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2022 Rockpile Får Zinfandel is the third iteration of this exceptional mountain-grown Zinfandel. It takes its name from the Swedish word for sheep, paying homage to our family’s heritage as pioneering homesteaders originally from Stockholm, who raised merino sheep for the wool on land that’s now the heart of our vineyards in Rockpile.
