2009 Bedrock Heirloom Red Wine Bedrock Vineyard Sonoma Valley


From 121+ year old vines. Dark red in color, fading a bit at the edges. A soft nose of red fruits. The palate echoes the nose. Soft red fruit, sharp acidity, firm tannins. Needs 2 to 3 years yet, but may never be completely in balance. Moderate finish of dark fruits; the acid is noticeable on the finish. Overall, I don't find this to be one of the better efforts from Bedrock. Good, but not great. 14.5% ABV. B

Hey Charlie, generally speaking I agree that the Bedrock Heritage is not one of my favorites. The 2008 was great and trailed off for me. I think I like their "Weill A Way Mixed Blacks" best for blends and then maybe Pagani Heritage or Papera Ranch Heritage.

My tastes run more to Bedrock's varietally labeled Syrah bottlings. I've had pretty good experiences with the Zinfandel from Carlisle Vineyard too.

The Judge Family Sauvignon Blanc is pretty nice too and I usually dig the Compagni Portis blend. My biggest beef with Bedrock is the broad array of bottlings, I almost never feel "caught up." New release comes and I still have a dozen wines to try from previous releases.
