We Know Jack, Rockpile – Sonoma County (California) Zinfandel 2022

Jun 11, 2024

By Rich Cook

 Made by James MacPhail, this hits the “Jack” pot as far as Zin character goes  –  it is the rare bold bottling that will please folks who are at both ends of the spectrum of Zinfandel ripeness, from the claret styled wines by Nalle to the bombastic jam bombs by Deaver.  That is a tough ask, but in the right hands great things can happen.  Rich bramble berries are supported by focused acidity, and the finish pulses with flavor.  Jack Florence would be proud.  Excellent!  Also contains 7% Petite Sirah.
