Bedrock Wine Co.

Pagani Ranch Heritage Sonoma Valley Red Blend 2012

Went and picked up my Bedrock shipment yesterday and I was floored by all the wines. This was only one of the wines but the quality in all of them were amazing! Gibson ranch grenache was exquisite and floral, hudson Syrah was powerful and meaty, griffins lair was a perfect example if Cali meets cote rotie. I can preach enough about this winery, Morgans wines take up the largest part of my cellar! — 11 years ago

I think I need to start open vat fermenting under eucalyptus trees a half mile from the coast.

The Red Barn Off Black Sage Road

Hawk's Lair Merlot 2013

Tastes of yellow seed grass with hints of plastic. Fantastic! The flavour is beyond delectable. It just tickles my fancy like no other. It swims down your throat like a yellowfin tuna swimming downstream the St. Lawrence River. Sometimes i dream of this wine while watching the stars on my private island. — 10 years ago

I hate it when people use Burgundian to describe New World wine. But damn if this isn't the most Burgundian Pinot I've ever had from California. Dominated by mineral and earth and structure, with beautiful, quiet, well delineated fruit. I'm down with @Pax Mahle's Syrah, and he's slowly convincing me that he knows something about Pinot, too. — 10 years ago

Devil's Lair

The Hidden Cave Cabernet Shiraz 2012

The Hidden Cave Devils Lair Shiraz rocks! A drink now wine, I bought for dinner to have with slow cooked lamb. Quintessential red fruit, plum, raspberry followed by a hint of dark chocolate and peppercorns. Everyone devoured it and was only surpassed by the meal. I give it a 8 1/2 our of 10 — 12 years ago

Castelli-Knight Ranch Syrah

Tasted next to the Griffins Lair. An elegant counterpoint. More lavender, juniper spice, and earth. Some resemblance to Cote Rotie. Spectacular. — 9 years ago
