Bedrock Wine Co.
Old Vine Zinfandel
California, USA
The ‘17s just arrived so that means it was perfect timing to drink my last ‘16. @Morgan Twain-Peterson says these can age 5-10 yrs, but mine never seem to make it 5-10 months while I let all of the SVs rest in peace. A splash decant really helps the bouquet jump out on these. Rose petal, spice, and dark fruits balanced by wonderful acidity and some light tannin presence. A screaming value year in and year out.

2016. If, for some reason, God forbid, you forget why you should drink zinfandel, find one this one, or another of Morgan Twain-Peterson’s varietal offerings. Not only will it jog you memory but it will a smile on your face and in your mouth. Aromas of black fruit, earth, and spice. Bright, elegant, concentrated fruit. And for a 14.4% abv drinks waaaaaay too easily. I have enjoyed a lot of Bedrock in recent years. Some bottles better than others. Haven’t had a bad sip yet. Cheers!

Not as good as the 2015 but after a few hours gets really good—deep and layered.
