Variety: 100% zinfandel
Appellation: Rockpile
Sensory Notes:
The 2018 Rocky Ridge zinfandel delivers body and major structure, embraced with dark red
fruits, blackberries and a core of sarsaparilla. Layered tannins leave a luxurious finish that is seemingly
endless. The craggy cliffs these vines are perched on provide intense, low-yielding fruit.
Vineyard Notes:
The Rocky Ridge Vineyard is perched high above Lake Sonoma and the surrounding hills. Its
high elevation, along with the thin, rocky soils that give this area its name, provide an excellent location for
growing intense, low-yielding grapevines. The Westphall vineyard in the Rockpile AVA produces smaller
clusters with excellent varietal characteristics.
Cellar Recommendations: Enjoy this wine through 2033.
