Notes: Rockpile Ridge Vineyard is located at nearly 1,200-ft. elevation in the Rockpile appellation. This vineyard has sweeping sun exposures from southeast to northwest and consists of nine distinctly different blocks of Zinfandel. The blocks are all harvested at different times and fermented separately to ensure the integrity and uniqueness of the individual blocks. 

Our 2019 Rockpile Ridge Zinfandel carries all of the signature aromas expected from Zinfandel grown in Rockpile: candied cherry and plum; dark cocoa; ground roasted coffee; savory dried herbs and sweet earth. This incredible iteration of Rockpile Ridge Zinfandel is singularly defined by its detailed texture.  It’s vibrant, yet concentrated; elegant, yet bold; velvety, yet powerful. Then it ultimately resolves into a seamless and persistent finish. This energetic Zin will benefit from at least 1-2 years of bottle age. Enjoy over the next 10-12 years.

The 2019 Zinfandel Rockpile Ridge Vineyard has a medium ruby color and alluring scents of mixed berry jam, cracked pepper, violets and botanical nuances. The medium-bodied palate surprises with its marriage of power and elegance to a soft, grainy, refreshing frame and perfumed finish.

Spicy and herbal, this high-elevation grown wine includes 6% Petite Sirah and is earthy and dusty in dark fruit. Firm yet substantial tannins provide concentrated weight and breadth, with brooding highlights of tobacco, black pepper, dark chocolate and coffee.
