This is a very tasty Petite Sirah from Lake County in California.
Dry and fruity on the palate with medium acidity.
Medium plus in body with a nice, soft mouth feel.
Showing blueberries, black cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light graphite and peppercorn.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 4 year old is already drinking very nicely with nice complexity.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.
Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years, and see how it evolved.
Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Easy drinking and elegant.
A small production of only 150 cases.
14.1% alcohol by volume.

Lovely, light, delicate, slightly oaky Pinot Noir from Home Ranch vineyard for Iron Horse. 2012 vintage enjoyed on OTBN February 27, 2021.
Smooth and silky. Soft and refined, chocolate notes. — 4 years ago
Took 30 mins to open but really enjoying the boozy strawberries and fine dusty secondaries and waining structure. Really in an excellent place but I could see 3-5 years of pleasure left to give. Can’t wait for the next glass. — 8 months ago
Never know what I’m going to get when I open a Bedrock. This one seems to be okay with some blackberries, licorice, brambles and such, not overly complex but good. Opened and decanted about an hour before dinner and seemed to be the same from start to about 3 hours later. — a year ago
Popped and poured, consumed over three days with very little evolution over that period but if I had to make a call, I would say best on Day 3. It presents a turbid, deep ruby in the glass. On the nose, purple flowers, dried leaf tobacco, tomato leaf, and freshly tilled earth. On the palate, currants, tart blackberries, kalamata olive brine, dried blood...it’s saline, sanguine and ferrous in a real way. The 2012 Champoux Vineyard is a structured, high acid/high tannin Bordeaux blend of predominately Cabernet Franc with some Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for good measure. Long, long finish. A very earthy and mineral driven wine. Blind, there is no way I would call this New World. This bottle is yet another reminder why I truly believe Andrew Will makes some of the very greatest wines in Washington State. This has at least another decade of life left in it. — 4 years ago

This is a delicious Rosé Sparkling wine from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Delicate and reserved. Fruity, crisp and easy drinking. Feels like a Rosé Champagne.
Needs 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Worth the wait.
This vintage Sparkling wine will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
