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 expansive, but I think the best of the best are the ancient vineyard Zinfandels, Morgan is clearly passionate about.
Sky Vineyard, the masterpiece and lifework of Lore Olds, is one of California’s most distinct Zinfandel vineyards. With the oldest vines dating to 1973, it has long been farmed organically with zero-tillage. It is so remotely located in the wilds atop Mt. Veeder that it is completely off-grid.
Purple in color. 14.5% ABV. Stunning nose of black fruits, citrus and baking spices. Full bodied with perfect acidity. Rich, plush and packed with supple fruits. Black cherry, blackberry, plums and pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. This Zinfandel is young, delicious and will definitely improve with time in the cellar. Best over the next 6-8 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.
