2010 Bedrock Heirloom Wine | Los Angeles - TastingTable
One of the oldest plots in Sonoma, Bedrock Vineyard, has been continually producing grapes since 1888. These days, 30-year-old Morgan Twain-Peterson pays homage to the plot's lineage with his Zinfandel-driven field blend from his Bedrock Wine Co.
Zinfandel is a polarizing grape: Its high-alcohol jamminess exemplifies either the best or worst of California wine, depending on whom you're talking to. But thanks to the winemaking skill of Twain-Peterson, the son of Ravenswood Winery's Joel Peterson, this bottle is no overwrought beast.
Blended with Carignane, Mourvèdre, Syrah and other grapes, Bedrock Heirloom has plum notes and a slightly feral spiciness. It is produced in small quantities and sold largely through a mailing list.
