We Know Jack, Rockpile – Sonoma County (California) Zinfandel 2021

 The name says it all here — if you want a piece of the action from this famed site, you need to know the owner, and I imagine you would also need to pony up a significant amount of financing per ton.  Justice is done to provenance here in a refined style with a mouth coating texture that carries rich brambly fruit and leaves lingering flavors in satisfying fashion.  A well tempered approach to oak aging keeps the focus on the fruit character while adding complementary spice and vanilla notes.  Riff-raff moniker notwithstanding, think of this as a Cabernet lover’s Zin that retains its soul.  Contains 9% Petite Sirah.
