Riesling
Wirz Vineyard
Cienega Valley
Central Coast, CA

T-hued to the eye, the nose is an absolutely elegant combination of the soils this Riesling was lucky enough to grow up in, and the age of the vines, planted by a legend named Pat Wirz, in the Cienega Valley of California, in 1963.

The palate of this Riesling is of a remarkable, Alsatian style that has the balance to satisfy & then some. Before it moves to the finish, a gorgeous feel of melon presents itself, as the finish makes its way not only onto the palate but quietly into the memory.

We paired it with some of Beth’s shrimp for and grits- and the pair was better than the sum of its parts.

…as good as those parts were.

Once & Future Wines

Bedrock Vineyard Zinfandel 2023

Wow, this Zin is super aromatic, with fantastically pure crushed red and black fruits, some mineral, flavor profile shows lovely floral as well as the rich, deep red and black raspberry, while this wine needs further aging, it has impeccable balance and a very long, lingering finish, 13.5% ABV, 201 cases made, bravo to Joel!! — 2 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, I have a few more of the 2023 Once & Future “Bedrock” Zin that I’ll age awhile, and also more of the Bedrock “Evangelo” Zin!

@Dave, FWIW, I predict 2023 will go down as an all-time great Zinfandel vintage, it’s worth grabbing a few bottles of what you love for 2-5 years of cellaring!

Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Red Blend

Young and fresh but showing many of the Dolinsek’s traditional traits: a big nose of blue and black fruits followed by a fruit forward wine of the same. It’s got bright acidity and firm tannins with a hint of black olive and pepper deeper in the wine. Drinking well now with loads of potential. — 2 months ago

X-Block Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah
