Tasting notes
From an AVA located just to the north of the Dry Creek Valley, the 2015 Zinfandel Rockpile checks in as 100% Zinfandel (most wines from this estate are blends) that spent 14 months in 15% new French oak. It has a darker, plummy, spice and scorched earth-driven bouquet, medium to full body, a broad, expansive texture, and remarkable elegance and purity. It's another terrifically balanced, high-class Zinfandel from this estate that should keep for upwards of a decade.

The 2015 Zinfandel Rockpile is medium garnet-purple colored and delivers notions of blackberry pie, dried lavender, mocha and mincemeat pie with touches of menthol and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and built like a brick house with firm, grainy tannins and a racy line supporting the densely packed, muscular fruit, finishing very long and very spicy. 2,000 cases produced.
