Bottle Notes, Zinfandel

2023 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Esola Vineyard – 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.

Owned by Denise Esola, this vineyard dates back to the early 1900’s and lies in the heart of Amador’s Shenandoah Valley.

Light red in color. 14.5% ABV. Charming nose of red fruits, citrus and flowers. Medium body with exquisite acidity. Light, crisp and refreshing. Raspberry, cherry, nectarine and white pepper on the palate. The finish is long and supple. Decidedly light in style but eminently appealing. 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.
