The Convict 2018
Brambly fruit and spice on the nose with threads of minerality that will show up sets this wine apart from and identifies its Rockpile origin. The juicy palate mirrors these characters. Red Zinfandel is a hedonistic varietal. Pure pleasure for all. We enjoy this wine with BBQ and friends. The 2018 vintage offered excellent growing conditions. A mild winter followed by an early spring started the year off early. Sonoma County did not suffer any heat waves (or fires) this summer so the ripening was slow and steady. We picked much later this year as mild days continued into September. This vintage will be characterized by good acid and lower alcohols.
