BEDROCK HEIRLOOM

The inaugural release of the Bedrock Wine Co. is a classic California field blend. Composed of Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Barbera and numerous other mixed blacks from vines planted as far back as 1888, the Bedrock Heirloom Wine is as distinctly Californian as it gets. Though as firmly rooted in California as the vines are in our vineyard?s red, cobbly, soil, this wine is made to stand next to the greatest field blends in the world?those of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. As such, a premium is put on richness, balance, spice, and integrated oak components. In 2007, I used 40% new French oak from a range of forests. Outside of the big mamer-jammer, 600 Liter, demi-muid from Taransaud, I used the Burgundian coopers of Claude Gillet, Cadus, and Rousseau in an attempt to highlight the wine?s perfume and spice components while lessening the inprint of oak flavor. Typical of Sonoma Valley, this year?s wine features a dazzling aromatic profile of crushed red berries, kirsch, pumpkin pie spice, bright, clarified, fruit flavors and rich structural components imparted by the mixed blacks which ground the wine and indicate that it will age gracefully for 8-10 years
