Score 88/100 · Drink 2016-2020, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jul 2016

The 2012 Zinfandel Rockpile Rocky Ridge Vineyard is dense, powerful and authoritative. A huge core of fruit hits the palate as the wine shows off its ample, broad personality. Although not especially complex, the 2012 offers notable richness and overall intensity, but it also comes across as a bit stewed and heavy.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2014-2021, Robert Parker, Dec 2014

The 2012 Zinfandel Rocky Ridge Vineyard from the Rockpile AVA achieved 14.7% alcohol. It is a super-rich, dry, exuberant, boisterous, All-American, classic Zinfandel with lots of raspberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit, pepper and spice characteristics. Pure and beautifully made, with the oak only a subtle nuance, this full-bodied, elegant Zinfandel should drink well for 5-7 years.
