Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Tim rated this wine as 1/100
Rockpile is a beast of a wine. Named in honour of the toughest vineyard we own, the Rockpile. The wine is grown entirely on
our Black Sage and Golden Mile vineyards. Syrah with Merlot,Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, etcetera with 1% Viognier for good
measure. Ratnip dirt and sand. Rich, spicy, meaty, fruity,earthy, and intriguing leathery notes.
