previous vintage 97 Points Wine Spectator: "Impeccably structured and infused with personality and polish, this red unfolds with black cherry and raspberry flavors framed by orange peel, garrigue brown baking spices and clove while building richness and tension toward medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignan and Mataro. Drink now through 2035. From California." (April 2025)

Robert Parker: "Everybody should recognize the incredible speed at which Morgan Twain-Peterson has built his Bedrock Wine Co. into a world-class performer. Moreover, few people have done more to preserve and save heritage/ancient-vine vineyards than Peterson. Here is his new lineup of wines that shows his creative Midas touch for coaxing full character out of his diverse terroirs and blends. His commitment to excellence is something to admire."

Certified Organic • 62% Zinfandel,19% Carignan, 10% Mataro, and 8% from 20+ other varietals in the field blend (Syrah, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo, Trousseau, Castets, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Alicante Bouchet, Grand Noir, Lenoir, et al.) •Sonoma Valley AVA • Vines planted in 1888 • Elevage 10 months in 28% new oak

Winery notes: Crazy to think this is the 16th bottling we have made of this wine! The 1888 plantings at our home ranch produced very small amounts of dense, rich fruit in 2021 that will make this one of the greatest Bedrock Heritage Wines we have made. The wonderfully even growing season and cool August allowed sugars to accumulate slowly and natural acidity to remain bright, making for a classically composed expression of our Sonoma Valley site. As always, this is a field-blend of over 20 different varieties interplanted on the iron-rich, red and cobbly soils of our home ranch. This vineyard is the gravitational center of everything else we do at Bedrock - it is the vineyard we walk with our families in, it is where we have learned via trial and error how to farm. It is in constant evolution, just like our winery and ourselves, and year after year we feel deeper gratitude for its existence and to my father for having the foresight to purchase it nearly two decades ago. - Morgan Twain-Peterson
