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.
Owned by Denise Esola, this vineyard lies in the heart of Amador’s Shenandoah Valley.
Ruby red in color. 14.5% ABV. Intriguing nose of red fruits, citrus and baking spices. Medium body with perfect acidity. Light, crisp and fresh. Cherries, blood orange, cranberry and earth on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Just a brilliant, Claret style Zinfandel that you could drink all day. Best over the next 2-3 years.
My rating: 94 points.
The mailing list at Bedrock is highly recommended. Exceptional wines, fair prices and great customer service. Put your name on the waiting list.
