Bedrock Wine Co.
Old Vine Zinfandel

Purple, moderate to high pigment extraction. Black pepper and blackberry aromas and flavors, lots of seed tannins on finish. Layers of flavors, but decant to reveal them.

Peppery with nice doses of fruit. Decent structure and made some fans at the dinner table.

Initially, upon opening, I thought this was too extracted and scorchy, but after just a bit of air that sensation receded and the wine softened and developed. Nose is classic Zin black raspberry fruit, and nice briary, soft herbal note, and some moist gravel, river stones notes in the background. Ripe, but not too ripe, and extracted, but not too extracted, in the mouth. Has a dry, full-bodied feel, with a bit a peppery heat and some scratchy tannin in the finish. Seems like fewer and fewer Zin producers are interested in anything other than a loud wine, but at least this isn’t too loud.

My first time trying a wine from Bedrock, a Sonoma producer who have a reputation for creating exceptional wines from old-vine Zinfandel.
This entry level bottling is very good - and very young. Brambly, with blackberry, black cherry, smokey barbecued meat, tobacco, black pepper & chocolate. Very full bodied, spicy, certainly not jammy but quite serious in its fruit profile - I actually found this quite Cabernet-like - with angular tannins and dried cherry acidity.
Nice to have a Zinfandel for the first time in what must be over a year!

In line with the previous vintages’ high marks. Beautiful zin. Layered and elegant, and subtle.
