Deep ruby color. Aromas of black and blue fruit, leather, peppermint and earth. Stunning wine! Sweet toffee, caramel, blueberry and herbs on the palate.

If the wine says it’s from Rockpile, get it. . . Or I will! Was introduced to this region a decade ago and love the wines. For a 15.3% alcohol, this felt lighter, almost 2-3% less. Flavors are blending well, still has a strong fruit forward but the jammy sensation has tempered. Color starting to change slightly. This may have several more years and glad I have more bottles. — 2 years ago

This was a little clenched on opening, but on night 2 (after 24 hours under a vacuum closure), it’s loosened up a bit. Nose has nice, precise black raspberry Zin fruit, a subtle will of oak toast, and rocky gravel. The flavors are fairly concentrated, classic, old-school balanced Zin, but in a nice, claret-like structure. Such nice balance. — 2 months ago

My favorite red of the day. Super chocolate-y. Dark cassis, maybe some coffee notes too. — 3 years ago
