Beautiful, soft, silky wine. Great mouth feel. Traditional Sauvignon Blanc noted very much in the background. Citrus and melon notes up front. My favorite American white. — 3 days ago

Good on Debbie bday party — a month ago
Graceful as a ballet dancer—heady notes of yeasty and nutty roundness (think morning fresh baked bagel with almond and hazelnut) punctuated by the staccato of gently sour citrus (lemon, lime, citron, yuzu), balanced by minerals and delightful fizz. Drinks much younger than it is, so if you are lucky enough to have more of this ambrosia there’s no rush to empty out your cellar (20 is the new 10, as the Boomers would say). Enjoyed this gem at Hayato Restaurant in LA (best Kaiseki I’ve ever experienced) with my daughter Rachel and her friend Lindsay right after they finished taking the California Bar Exam. Best of luck, girls! — 13 days ago

More developed/forward than the 2023 Carignan, but such an absolutely lovely Zinfandel, I just love what Bedrock is doing!! — 23 days ago
