*Zinfandel Chronicles – Dec 2014, 92pts “Claret style Zinfandel at its finest”
*Examiner.com Feb 1st, 2015 “The 2012 Rockpile Zinfandel truly reflects the excellence of the Rockpile terroir with bright fruit, black cherry, plum, cola, licorice and currant.”
*Wine Spectator – June 30, 2015 Issue, 90pts “Plush and ripe, but with a solid backbone of acidity and tannins. Aromas of smoky, briary black raspberry lead to supple flavors of wild berry, sage and subtle mineral. Drink now through 2021“
