This has more wood notes than sweet notes. I could see why this rates high with the pros. — 9 years ago

Still coming together. Can't decide if this is lean, elegant and slightly feral or big, fruity and concentrated. Tonight, it began as the first and opened into the later. Lovely blackberry and plum notes to go along with bacon fat and a touch of wood spice and vanilla. Will love to see this mature. I continue to kick myself for opening Bedrock early but yet I still do it. — 10 years ago

A good amount of wood is showing up in this wine... Not bad. Needs time to integrate. — 10 years ago

2009 Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Chardonnay --- this wine never sees any wood as it is fermented and aged in cement vessels. Light straw yellow color.
Aromas of lemon, grapefruit, tropical fruits, pear, honey and light floral. Flavors of lemon, white peach, pear, and a light Creme brûlée sweetness. Paired really nicely with Atlantic salmon and asparagus risotto. — 10 years ago

Classically Nebbiolo with a rustic charm. Complex nose... black cherries, tar, bright limestone, dried wood, and the aromas of a fresh flower market. Palate is round and juicy with back-end acidity, more than tannin. Red fruit dominates, and the rustic feel persists. Dry finish, with excellent length with cranberries and red raspberry. Opened nicely overall several hours. Will pair well with pastas and game. Co-op producer. — 9 years ago

This is fantastically complex Madeira. I need to figure out how to buy it. Slightly sweet. Aged. Aged wood on the noise. Controlled oxidation — 10 years ago

Smells like a field of flowers in springtime! Light cola beneath a blanket of blood orange, honey-bread, eraser, wood stove. Subtle, and shimmery. Constant feigning, dodging and sleight. A flat rootbeer and ginseng admixture accents the back end of this corn-fed hussy. #domainedupage #twobrothers #Illinoisbeer #countrystrong — 10 years ago

Wonderful fruits- red and black. A bit of wood upon opening as you'd expect and then goes away and fruits come forward. Very balanced Zin. Excellent! — 11 years ago

A saturated reddish-purple, the '11 Bedrock Zinfandel 'Saitone Ranch Vineyard' emits characteristic brambly clove spice, sappy dark cherry and oak aromas with some violet undertones. Great depth of cherry-cola, wood smoke and white pepper flavors on the mouth with balanced acidity that keeps the sweet fruit in line. A rich finish with stunning depth and length. — 11 years ago

Blackberry tar, wood-grilled meat served rare - the classic aromatics. Firm, dense tannic backbone and taut acidity. Still finding its balance, but this drinks like a far more expensive wine. — 10 years ago

Made by Mr Smith I should have added this wine maker to my list of special producers. This wine reminded me of a great Las Cases from saint julien. Silky and delicious with wood fully integrated and enough acid to take this abort decade this wine was profound and reminded me of the relationship I was having with my glass the entire time the bottle was open. — 10 years ago

Sundried tomatoes with some dried oregano and herbs. Little bit of olives. Acid is nice. Sole cranberry sandal wood and Rose hips contrast and no so subtle mineralality. The kekfrankos is the Same as the blaufrankisch. 1530s the bull's blood wine. The story goes that the people were surrounded, drank all the wine and charged an attack against the Ottoman Empire. Killed the head of the snake and they scattered. Not sure if the legend is true but it's The only town in the Ottoman Empire area that has been left pristine. 😏 regardless it's a darn good wine — 10 years ago
