The Bedrock Heritage Sonoma Valley Red Blend 2021

The 2021 Bedrock Heritage Wine is a great expression of this site. Black cherry, chocolate, spice, leather and tobacco are front and center. This dark, virile Zinfandel-based field blend packs a serious punch. There's plenty of detail and nuance behind all of that intensity. The 2021 is a big wine, but also less monolithic than some previous editions. There's a bit more whole cluster in the 2021 than in the past, so perhaps that explains the wine's nuance. The 2021 is one of the best wines I have ever tasted from the Bedrock vineyard, and I say that as someone who is not yet fully convinced of the potential here.

Howell Mountain Merlot 2019

Deep Ruby, pronounced aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, cassis, black cherry, cedar, vanilla, tobacco leaf and forest floor. Already showing some tertiary notes. Lovely balance of fruit and savory elements, ripe fine-grained tannin and a very long finish. Wonderful wine, easy to appreciate now but with 5 or 10 more years ahead. — 2 months ago

Pagani Ranch Heritage Sonoma Valley Red Blend 2013

This is a substantial wine with lots of depth and complexity. A field blend, the 2013 Pagani Heritage is nearly black in the glass with a musty nose of dark berries and dried fruit. It’s still rich with drying and framing tannins, berry, mocha and earth. Ten years on it is still a heavyweight. — 5 months ago

Cabernet Bosché Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

The label may say this wine is 11 years old but the vibrant ruby color and abundant fruit showcase a wine that feels younger. Blackberry, black cherry, cassis, plum, graphite, and wet stone are framed by firm oak notes - cedar, cinnamon, clove and silky tannins giving the wine a lovely texture. The bright acidity and well integrated alcohol (14.5% abv) give a nice foundation to slowly emerging tertiary notes of leather, forest floor, and mushroom. This has a great future ahead. — 8 months ago
