Note di degustazione
A blend of 60% Zinfandel along with Carignan, the 2022 The Bedrock Heritage displays a purple hue in the glass and offers aromas of licorice, menthol, toasted peppercorn, and blackberries. The palate is ripe yet weightless, with velvety tannin, even acidity, and a great, balanced feel throughout. It’s ripe but retains excellent purity and freshness, closing with a mouthwatering finish. I suspect this will age gracefully over the coming 10-12 years.

Full bottle 1,222 g. Planted in 1888 on volcanic alluvium. About 70% Zinfandel with 26 other varieties, Carignan and Mourvèdre being the most prominent but including rarities like Castets, Castellana, Béquignol Noir (red Chenin in Argentina) and more common varieties like Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Tempranillo, Trousseau Noir, Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. Medium verging on deep purple in colour. Intensely brambly with dried earth, chilli spice and ripe black fruit. Full and weighty palate with fresh acid and grippy tannin. Finishes with sweet violet florals. Accessible now but could use some time to show its best. (SCJ)
The 2022 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage comes from a vineyard planted in 1888 to 29 different grape varieties. It has slowly unfurling scents of blueberry, red cherry and apricot with nuances of pepper, earth and floral potpourri. The full-bodied palate offers generous, nuanced flavors structured by youthfully chalky tannins and bursts of lip-smacking acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish.
