Hello, consumers of fermented fruit
We are barreling full-force into the warmer months. But before the agonizing days of bare skin sticking to the sofa, we've got Spring. So, a toast: To that nebulous period between scalding hot steering wheels and air so cold your boogers freeze. To Spring!
Features
2007 Atelier Rockpile Zinfandel 750ml 4-Pack
The Rockpile appellation typifies both the soul of Sonoma County and that of the Zinfandel grape. The rugged terrain is home to only a few pioneering growers whose faith in the soil turned this desolate outpost into a viticultural darling. This vintage again delivers exceptional flavor and complexity in a refined and elegant wine.
Rockpile: Located about 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean in western Sonoma County, the Rockpile appellation is a hill and mountain vineyard region spanning an elevation range from 800 to 2000 feet. The unique topography of this area includes hillsides that are steep and well-drained with shallow, rocky topsoil that limits the vigor of grapevines and produces a concentrated, uniform, and spicy crop of fruit.
The climate is also unusual in that the days tend to be somewhat cooler than down in the surrounding valleys (often by as much as 10 degrees) and the nights do not cool down as dramatically- two factors which contribute to a long and mild growing season with few extremes in temperature. In fact, most of the vineyards out here are planted above the fog/inversion layer so grapevines get early morning sun throughout the season. Additionally, the proximity to the Pacific Ocean also provides frequent breezes across the hilltops which keep the grape clusters dry and reduces mildew and disease pressure.
