Bottle Notes, Zinfandel

2012 Bedrock Wine Co. Heritage Wine Dolinsek Ranch – Bottle Notes

Bedrock Wine Co. was founded by Morgan Twain-Peterson in 2007 and focuses on small production wines from many of California’ s most treasured and historic vineyards. The lineup of wines at Bedrock is expanding rapidly, but I think the best of the best are the ancient vineyard Zinfandels, Morgan is clearly passionate about.

Dolinsek Ranch is in the Russian River Valley and was planted a little over 100 years ago.

Crimson in color. 14.8% ABV. Complex nose of red and black fruits, cocoa powder and black pepper. Medium to full bodied with rich, creamy fruit and just the perfect amount of acidity. Blackberries, raspberries and baking spices on the palate. The finish is long and spicy. Exceptionally well made Zinfandel that should continue to age gracefully for another 2-4 years.

My rating: 93 points.

The mailing list at Bedrock is highly recommended. Exceptional wines, fair prices and great customer service. Put your name on the waiting list.

I blogged about Bedrock recently in The 2016 Zinfandel Chronicles Power Rankings.
