Mauritson

Of all the zinfandel producers in Dry Creek Valley, Mauritson has some of the best balanced. I've never been able to put my finger on why I haven't joined the club here, because I do enjoy their wines. Their Rockpile Winery label has taken off since the early vintages, which were merely vineyard designated wines under the Mauritson label.

As I've said, I do enjoy their wines, but for some reason I've not found them altogether compelling. You know, as strange as it may sound, sometimes it's just a vibe. The tasting room is nice enough, the staff is perfectly pleasant and engaging, and the wines are priced fairly. I just can't figure it. Well, the nice thing about a mystery such as this is that empirical data collection is quite rewarding!
