A big fruit bomb of a wine. Opened up over several days after being opened. A nice CA blend.

From a vineyard tended by the zinfamous Teldeschi family. This one is a little more Zin heavy than some of the other heritage blends, but the usual mixed black suspects are also included. It's still burly at this very young stage and needs extended hours of decanting. Black fruit, smokey, bramble, and spice but still tight with racy acidity. This will improve greatly with age, give them at least 5 more yrs.

When it was open for around 3 hours, this really started singing. A complex blend of Zin, carignane, Alicante, valdigue, cinsault, and petite sirah. Could probably hold for another decade. Lively acidity and typical bedrock texture. Delicious if you're patient.

Might well be Morgan's most elegant Heritage blend to date. Striking!

Such a beaut....Winemaker Notes: The soaring return of Lorenzo's Heritage Wine! This vineyard is actually Teldeschi Vineyard, which my family has worked with since 1984 (and before that Dad work with it at Joe Swan). The wine is named for Lorenzo Teldeschi, the grandfather of the current generation who planted many of the vines. The wine comes from dry-farmed vines planted between 1900 and 1940 on the Dry Creek bench. Composed of roughly 60% Zinfandel, 25% Carignane, and the remainder Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, Cinsualt, Valdigue and a few other odds and ends the wine is my favorite since the 2008 vintage. Dense, beautifully fruited black raspberry and pomegranate, spice, and a framework of dusty tannins, this wine is one of my favorites of the vintage. Sure to be a mainstay of the Bedrock and Peterson family portfolio for many more years to come.

Celebrate spending money I don't have on the fall bedrock release by drinking something from the spring release
