Deep and spicy, this Rockpile Reserve shows blackberry, plum, and black cherry with accents of dark chocolate, licorice, pepper, and baking spice. It comes across as full-bodied but focused, with ripe fruit balanced by firm, age-worthy tannins and a long, structured finish. The style feels more restrained and polished than many bolder California Zins, with a savory edge that adds complexity. Enjoy it with barbecued pork ribs or grilled sausage.
