High acidity, elegant and long, slightly drying finish. Don't know if this bottle was a 100% ok?

Blackberry jam, leather, dust, and cracked black pepper. Tremendous silky mouthfeel and a finish that lasts for a day. Lovely wine.

Solid Zin with rich brambly nose and spicy blackberry cocoa palate. Moderate finish and light tannic structure.

So long since I’ve had a Rockpile wine and loved this!! Black and green pepper along with dark berries (raspberry and blackberry). An excellent jam flavor that just fits so well with bbq ribs.
