Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape(s): Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache
Localization: Sonoma, California, USA
Tasting Notes: It’s expressive, with aromas of peach, orange peel, savory fresh herbs, and a light salty note throughout the palate. Medium-bodied, it's more savory in this vintage, although it remains refreshing, with a silky texture. It’s versatile and would be a great rosé to carry over into the fall.
The Domain: Bedrock Wine Co. was founded in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson in a 550-square-foot, former chicken coop with 8-foot ceilings and no fermentation space. After six years of Bedrock being a one-man show, Morgan talked his best friend, Chris Cottrell, into moving from New York to California to join him. They now happily have a little more space to move around in but share the same objectives that guided the winery at the start.
The winery’s objectives are:
To channel the fruit of ancient vines into powerful, elegant, and distinctly Californian wines.
To spread the gospel of Syrah in California by sourcing fruit from great terroirs throughout the North Coast.
To proclaim the greatness of Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon by sparing no expense on wines of uniqueness and personality.
To reclaim rose’ from the excesses of saignee and focus on precision, delicacy, aromatics, and food friendliness.
To make fascinating and quixotic white wines from unique sites and interesting varietals.
To dream big but keep production low!
