Holy smokes this is good! My expectations were modest due to my stereotyping its Santa Clara County provenance, but I stand corrected. This is apparently an old-vine blend featuring about 50% Zin and a mix of Carignane and Mataro (Mourvèdre) to round it out. The purity of the black and red berries on the nose is remarkable. A bit of crushed stony earth. In the mouth, there’s tremendous flavor concentration but with an athletic mouthfeel that balances nice acids and super-soft tannic support. Great length. Color me duly impressed. Shoulda got more. 14.5% alcohol thank you very much. — 6 months ago

Another rollercoaster experience with Bedrock but happily this was on the up side; maybe 10 years is the key. Opened, tasted put in an aerator and went to dinner. The wine was excellent start to finish and did not seem to change much. A lot of dark fruits all around, smooth finish and just drinking great. Too busy at dinner with friends to have detailed notes. — 2 months ago

Many CCC old vine wines I’ve had tend to be open and friendly right out of the gate, but this guy is serious and a bit more reserved. Nose is a bit shy but shows dark, sultry berry fruit, some fragrant loamy earthiness, and moist underbrush. In the mouth it’s surprisingly structured, with a steely core of tightly-wound fruit lurking behind a bit of tight tannin and some nice acids. This needs a couple more years but your patience will be rewarded. 9.1 for now with significant upside potential. — 18 days ago
