title: Bella 2012 Rocky Ridge Zinfandel (Rockpile)
description: This bodacious but balanced wine from a wild corner of Sonoma County has smoke and black pepper aromas, rich grape, boysenberry and roast beef flavors, very bracing tannins and full body. It's big, yes, but it also gives up nuances that make it complex and compelling. Best to drink after 2018.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Rocky Ridge
