"Highly expressive with perfume, the 2021 Zinfandel Rockpile Ridge Vineyard pours a bright but opaque purple and is forward with notes of candied apricot, black raspberry compote, pressed flowers, and menthol. This full-bodied red has more lift and linear feel, with its floral and fruity profile continuing through the palate, with notes of tea leaf, ripe tannins, and red berries that flesh things out. It’s a charming wine to drink now or over the next 6-7 years." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2021 vintage carries all of the signature aromas expected from Zinfandel grown in Rockpile: candied Santa Rosa plum; crushed violet candy; milk chocolate shavings; espresso grounds; spice and graphite. This incredible iteration of Rockpile Ridge Zinfandel is singularly defined by its detailed texture. The entry is silky, and the texture is fine-grained and velvety with lingering flavors of ripe red fruits and sweet earth. This energetic Zin will benefit from at least 1-2 years of bottle age. Enjoy over the next 10- 12 years."
