This cuvée of the best of Bedrock’s best Zinfandel lots offers a big nose of blackberry and underbrush, followed with tart dark berries, graphite, mild acidity and classic Zin spice. Out of the gate it’s a bit edgy but with time in the glass shifts to an incredibly smooth, slightly oaked wine with many classic cab attributes. Wonderful either way.

Raspberry, sweet plum, mild tannins, low acidity and spice. The softer side of Zinfandel, in part due to 40% new oak. Should age well.

14.5% ABV “Super Cuvee” of Old Hill Ranch (OHR) + Bedrock Vineyard w/ additional Nervo Ranch Block 9 and Mother Block Teldeshi. Utilized fav barrels from best lots. Five barrels produced.

Dark in color, medium-high tannins. Tastes like OHR to me. May improve with a little more age, at least in regards to tannins.

Best zin in California? Maybe. Such a well balanced wine. Big Cali fruit but also some tart fruit, earth, and savory herbs. Great!
