"Focused and well-structured, with ripe cherry and grilled sage aromas and complex plum, cracked white pepper and licorice flavors that finish with firm but ripe tannins. Drink now through 2020. 416 cases made." Reviewed June 2014

Product Description:

"Nice dark-red in color, big blueberry-blackberry fruit, spicy-chocolatey oak, nicely focused acidity enhances mineral flavors, elegantly structured tannins for aging, super plush long finish!" - Winemaker's Tasting Notes

Rocky Reserve is from the acclaimed Rockpile appellation, at 1400 feet of elevation. Its cooler growing season allows for a longer hang-time, producing an elegant Zinfandel with full blackberry fruit and a long silky finish.

Carol Shelton, a "Zin Specialist" known for her luscious fruit-forward wines, produces small lots of vineyard-designated wines that reflect the essence of exceptional vineyards throughout California. - Winery Notes
