Mauritson 2021 Rockpile Zinfandel – Bold & Complex California Red Wine

Experience the rich character of Mauritson’s 2021 Jack’s Cabin Vineyard Zinfandel, a standout Sonoma County red wine from the prestigious Rockpile AVA. This robust blend of 94% Zinfandel and 6% Petite Sirah delivers deep, layered flavors of blackberry compote, espresso, and dried herbs, with a velvety texture and structured tannins.

Critics praise its savory depth—Jeb Dunnuck awarded it 90 points, highlighting notes of cedar, black truffle, and violets on the nose, followed by a palate of baked blackberry and espresso. Winemaker notes reveal even more complexity: fresh blue fruits, coffee bean, and a lingering herbal finish, balanced by an almost chewy texture that promises excellent aging potential (5-8 years).

With 14.75% alcohol, this bold California Zinfandel is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or hearty pasta dishes. Its Rockpile terroir ensures concentrated fruit and vibrant acidity, setting it apart from lighter Zinfandels.

Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a premium, age-worthy red wine, this limited-release vintage showcases Mauritson’s expertise in crafting small-lot, high-elevation wines.
