Basking in the sun like a lizard on a rock, Sonoma County’s Rockpile AVA is perched high above Dry Creek Valley. A suitably wild and rugged source for some of Sonoma County’s brawniest Zinfandel wines, the terroir of Rockpile is also man-made in one significant way: the deep, 2,500-acre Lake Sonoma reservoir.

Sheep ranching and hunting clubs dominated this area for 100 years before Rockpile’s modern grape-growing history began in 1992. Rockpile received AVA status in 2002, and its boundaries now contain 15,000 acres of land, with just 160 planted to grapevines.

Deep color, aromas of Blackberry and fig with a hint of toasted spice. Mouthwatering - lip-smacking mid pallet that makes your palate tingle. The finish is firm and smooth. Drink now thru 2027.
