The 2024 Bedrock Heritage Wine is a powerful, deep wine. Muscular contours and dark, enveloping fruit shape this virile, almost somber Zinfandel-based field blend. The 2024 needs time to soften, but it is also not quite as massive as some previous vintages, which is a positive. The overall direction at the Bedrock estate vineyard has been impressive of late. For years, I have asked myself if this site has the potential to make wines of the same level as some of the neighboring properties.

Fully fruited, but there’s so much violet-driven elegance. Ample structure frames this old-vine fruit – more than 135 years old. The palate flashes piques of blood orange and plump, red cherries and red plum skins. There’s a savoury throughline with eucalyptus and an undeniable mineral freshness.

Potent in structure and brooding at the core but plump with personality, offering blackberry and currant flavors accented by bitter chocolate, dark Asian spice and licorice tones as this builds tension and tannins on the finish. Hands off for now. Zinfandel, Carignan and Mourvèdre. Best from 2027 through 2037. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,200 cases made.
