Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2023 Rockpile Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel has rich aromas of blackberry compote, crushed toasted walnut, violet, sassafras and sweet earthen spice with notes of cola berry. The entry is driven by ripe juicy dark fruits, a firm core of mountain tannins and lingering of spice. With ample aeration, this Zinfandel will be even more fabulous. Plan to enjoy over the next 10-12 years.
Winemaker 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.
