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.
Nearly 50% of the wine is from Sodini Ranch on Limerick Lane in Healdsburg, Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma Valley, Teldeschi Ranch in Dry Creek, and Evangelho Vineyard in Contra Costa County. The remainder of the wine is comprised of declassified barrels from vineyards like Beeson Ranch, Katushas’, Pato, and Mori, along with bits from Dolinsek, Banfield, Sky, and Old Hill Ranch.
Crimson in color. 14.5% ABV. Savory nose of dark fruits, plums, pepper and flowers. Full bodied with ample acidity. Rich and grapey. Black cherry, blackberry, salmonberry and white pepper on the palate. The finish is long and supple. Lacking the vibrancy to be really special but the value is undeniable. Best over the net several years.
My rating: 90 points.
The mailing list at Bedrock is highly recommended. Exceptional wines, fair prices and great customer service. Put your name on the waiting list.
