Bedrock The Whole Shebang! Cuvée XI California

A great value entry point to Bedrock’s style of wines, made – of course – from old vines with an average age of 50 years sourced from vineyards across Sonoma and Lodi. It is unusual in that it is a blend of mainly Zinfandel from the most recent vintage – in this case 2017 – with small amounts of pervious vintages mixed in, in a “solera” style.

“Really interesting nose! Well melded and fascinating. So much more interesting than the average Cabernet Sauvignon. Fresh and ripe and beautiful. Long. Very Good Value!” 17/20 pts; Jancis Robinson MW
