Dark ruby color with brambly mixed black and red fruit and spice aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, and focused with creme de mure, black and red currant, black cherry, and spice with a very appealing minerality. Long finish. A field blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet, Grand Noir, Teroldego, Syrah, Black Muscat and Golden Chasselas. From 4.5 acres of wizened, stumplike, dry-farmed, head-trained red vines, which, planted in 1910, produce only half a ton per acre.

Aug 10th, 2016This is about as rich, dark and only as I can handle, buoyed by acidity and a fine and silky tannic finish. Oak mostly subsumed, blue fruit still in the fore. This is usually the most forward of the Bedrock Heritage blends

Nov 1st, 2017Got away with hiding a couple of modest bottles behind a row of Fetzer at a friend's holiday party last year, but not this time. This one was drained in five minutes. Glad I got a taste.
