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.
Katushas’ Vineyard is an historic, own-rooted old-vine Zinfandel site located in the Mokelumne River sub-appellation of the Lodi AVA in California, owned and farmed sustainably by Bedrock. The vines date back to 1915.
Crimson in color. 14.5% ABV. Pretty nose of red fruits, citrus, baking spices and flowers. Medium body with exquisite acidity. Light, crisp and snappy. Cherry, cranberry, blood orange and earth on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Unique, beguiling Zinfandel that has a flavor profile far afield from the rest of the Bedrock lineup. Best over the next 2-3 years.
My rating: 92 points.
The mailing list at Bedrock is highly recommended. Exceptional wines, fair prices and great customer service. Put your name on the waiting list.
