2023 Bedrock Wine Co. 'The Bedrock Heritage' Red Blend Sonoma Valley
From the storied 1888 plantings at Bedrock’s home ranch, the 2023 ‘Bedrock Heritage’ is a benchmark release from Morgan Twain-Peterson—a field blend of Zinfandel, Carignan, Mataro, and 20+ heritage varieties grown on iron-rich, cobbly soils. This vineyard isn’t just historic; it’s personal. It's the heart of Bedrock and the blueprint for the winery’s legacy.
The 2023 vintage, shaped by a long, even growing season and cool late summer, offers dazzling clarity and poise. Wine Spectator awarded 97 points, calling it “impeccably structured and infused with personality,” layered with black cherry, raspberry, orange peel, garrigue, and baking spice. Parker hails Bedrock as “a world-class performer” and a guardian of California’s ancient vines.
A cult classic in the making—limited and essential.
Snag your bottle before it disappears.
Wine Spectator
A vigorously structured version, with a deep core of bright acidity and briary tannins, this red overflows with personality, offering blackberry, currant, bitter chocolate, clove and other dark spices. Builds tension toward the firm finish. Zinfandel, Grenache, Mataro, Syrah, Petit Sirah and Alicante. Best from 2026 through 2036.
James Suckling
A big, broad and balanced wine with so much dark fruit, wild herbs and black pepper to savor. It is full-bodied, medium to full in tannins, and complex. This melting-pot wine is made from old vines on the Bedrock home property that range from zinfandel to carignane, mourvedre and alicante bouschet. Drink now or hold.
