2008 Bedrock Wine Co. Pinot Noir Rebecca’s Vineyard- USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (1/29/2015)
This is pretty dark. Nose of sweet blackberries, cool black raspberries and a hint of sassafras and it’s all so very fragrant. Palate shows a deftness of presence. Some wonderful red-black fruits and amazing bounce for. Intense and yet playful, this has some crush red cherries & bold black tea leaf. Tannins are nicely resolved and acidity decent. Finish holds all of that in check and longish. Might be a nod darker than I like to lean these day but I call it as I see it, and this one shows very nice indeed. (91 pts.)
Interesting to see how this bottle is doing. I had one years ago and found it very reductive, and decided to forget about the others for a very long time.
I had the 2009 last week and the notes could be the same for that. At first made me sorry Morgan isn’t making Pinot now but then I realized how much Bedrock I buy and was glad to have one less temptation.
