Worth the wait! Drink now in 2024. Beautiful violet color. On the noise blackberries and violet notes. Very creamy fruit forward with a spicy backend. Delicious and very pleasant from start to finish. Left us wanting more. Our last bottle of this vintage. Blackberry, mocha, spicy dark chocolate. Enjoy now

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (M&R's): Double blind. Aromas of candied dark fruit, with meaty undertones. Medium-bodied with soft tannin and acid. Dark fruit and spice dominates the palate. Guessed syrah. (V&M)

Retail $49. 95% Zinfandel 5% Petite Sirah. Winegrapes were first planted in what is now Rockpile Vineyard in 1872, when it was far more difficult to access the vineyard near Lake Sonoma at the northern end of Dry Creek Valley. Mauritson makes several different wines from Rockpile's 10 distinct vineyards including this Jack's Cabin Vineyard which is at nearly 1000 feet and has 15% slopes. Dark and a bit brooding in the glass with black cherry, a smidge of mocha, black pepper, and a decided floral aspect (violet?). The palate is fruity and rich with multiple layers of complexity, and is also fairly light on its feet (14.6% ABV), finishing with considerable fruit and delicate tannins.
