Heady, yet refined and polished, with boldly expressive black raspberry, orange peel and spice box flavors. This is full of additional nuances and builds toward big but fine-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignan and Mataro. Drink now through 2030.
Product Description:
The O.G. of Bedrock Wine Co.! These vines turned 131 years in 2018 & decided it would be a great year to turn out a relatively small crop of delicious & dense fruit. As always, the wine, though based around Zinfandel, is a field-blend of the 27 varieties found in the old vines at my family's site in the heart of Sonoma Valley, including about 20% Carignan & 5% Mataro. Like the other Sonoma Valley "Grand Cru" sites, this will definitely reward time in the decanter or a few years on its side to start showing all of its secrets. The most consistently decorated of our wines (the 2016 was the Spectator #10 wine of the year & the 2017 just got another 95), the 2018 should be another classic.---Winemakers Website
