Lovely nose, fresh strawberries, honey and stone fruit. A nice crisp finish. A favorite of mine. — 6 years ago
It’s pretty easy to over-do Syrah in this location. Desire Lines does a phenomenal job of keeping dessert-like pleasure and seriousness of terroir in check. Lifted and fruited like a modern northern Rhône or Cru beaujolais with a little less seriousness to boot but also this is young and booming. Held straight for 5 days. Get the feeling that this will resolve very slowly over time to show more what earthy and cool characteristics it has in its hand. This wine feels extremely stable and a kaleidoscope of possibilities lay herein. — 7 years ago

Surprisingly, I kinda liked this despite my aversion to overly-hopped beers. The nose is a straight up hop-bomb - floral, citrusy, piney. The palate's also full-on, with heaps of hoppy bitterness, but balanced by malty sweetness and tropical fruit notes (passionfruit and mango for me). Finishes crisp and earthy. Not bad, but not my kind of beer (not an IPA fan basically). — 7 years ago

So nice to have a Bedrock wine to crack open upon receipt. Like a bolder redder Rose. Strawberry and an incredible nose. Can't believe it is a Zin but I really enjoyed it. I'll look forward to a few more bottles next year. — 9 years ago

Nice nice. Peach yogurt, lemon, wet stone, some nuttiness and Parmesan? Some mild grassiness? Long finish. Crisp. — 6 years ago
Rioja meets California. Too young though, needs another 5 years. — 7 years ago
Warm fruit but not over Jammie, a little musty Overall another well balanced elegant wine from bedrock — 8 years ago
Like no IPA you've ever had. This beer is citrusy and SWEET- which was pleasantly surprising. I don't normally like sweet beers but this one I will make an exception for. Pair this with lighter fare such as crackers or pub snacks. I can imagine enjoying this on a warm day, too, due to its fruity character. Be warned-- there are plenty of hops for us hopophiles so if that's not your thing, steer clear. — 9 years ago

A very fun and highly drinkable wine that everyone at the Sunday family dinner could enjoy. Moderate acidity, bright red fruit, managed to have some depth without losing approachability. Another great Shake Ridge Barbera from Bedrock — 25 days ago
