Points
Wine Enthusiast, Tom Capo
"This richly extracted Zin delivers a punch of black cherry, plum and purple flower aromas on the nose, while the palate delivers flavors of dark chocolate, black pepper, raspberry coulis and kirsch before the finish lingers with echoes of cinnamon and anise."
92 Points | Wine Spectator, Tim Fish
"Tightly structured and tense, with blackberry, briar patch, espresso and toasty oak highlights that end with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2034."

Salted Chocolate

Our 2023 Cat's Cradle captures the untamed, site-driven character of the Rockpile AVA. Aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and crushed rock rise from the glass with brooding intensity. The deep, plush palate is layered with salted chocolate and licorice, supported by taut tannins that carry through to a savory, mineral tension.

Vintage NotesRemarkably cool and late, the 2023 vintage produced wines of singular character and quality. The winter season started wet, with record rainstorms and mountaintop snowfall, leaving aquifers full and vines healthy. A cool spring indicated the later harvest to come, with a late start to budbreak and a long flowering period on the vines that was accompanied by wildflower super blooms. Through mild summer temperatures the vines set an ample crop load with strong canopy growth. After patient waiting and long hangtimes, warm weather came at just the right moment in fall to push ripeness to completion, resulting in wines that are deep, vital, and age worthy.
