Papera Ranch Heritage Russian River Valley Red Blend

A hot mess. Wants to be a Mixed Black, just can’t get there.

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.

Ripe and rustic...lots of mixed dark fruit and a touch of pencil shavings on the nose. Round, medium weight bright red fruit with a lovely richness. No noticeable alcohol, nicely integrated acids. And a long zin finish.

So exhausted after the holidays. Tried a dry January, made it 3 days. Oh well. Great blend

Dark purple. Red fruit, anise and baking spice. Soft body, hint if wood on a medium finish. Very good.

Needs time

Loaded with black fruit. Needs time to come together. Great on the back porch with a steak.

Black raspberry, leather, and cocoa. We really should try to age some of their wine, but we seem to keep enjoying them young!

Super wine! A really interesting field blend that will spark a conversation about what, exactly, is in the bottle.

Stewed blackberry and black currant, black pepper - very supple.
