I used to have my Bedrock and its capsule less bottles all organized on one side of the cellar. They seem to have taken over all parts of the cellar.

2012 Hudson T&S Syrah - I've had a lot of the Hudson Syrahs and this was the first one where I didn't get some nice savory notes. The fruit was definitely there, but it had a real exotic side - spicy too. Not quite as floral as usual either. Very tasty and extremely balanced, but the exotic mix of flavors made it hard to describe what I was tasting - kind of a liquored edge to it too. It took about 4 hours to come around, so I'm torn between additional decant time or to just let the other two bottles sleep for a couple of more years. Cheers!

I was like that until until we had to come up with a big chunk of cash for the wedding. That was back when Bedrock was almost 1/2 of my holdings I had a cellar liquidation and the Bedrock was cleaned out. Glenn bought some, including my Lachryma Montis. Been Replenishing ever since.

This week, 2016 Sodini, 2019 Judge and a 2019 Lulu.

May 23rd, 2020, 6:21 am

Lachryma Montis is liquid gold.

May 23rd, 2020, 7:55 am

Found a 2017 Ode to Lulu hiding among my rose stash. Opened on a hot, Florida early evening to sip outside by the pool. Can't believe how fresh and fruity it remains! Definite Mourvedre in the flavor profile, with a crisp acidity that I really enjoyed. I usually drink my Lulus early, but this one hit my sweetspot.

Just so good. You pop an 09 or 11?

May 23rd, 2020, 3:12 pm

I have had both now.

#2610 Post by **Brent S** » May 23rd, 2020, 5:53 pm

Just drank the 2019 Lulu and sav Blanc. Both fantastic.

09 is excellent but 11 is on a different level.

#2612 Post by **Rich Brown** » May 23rd, 2020, 6:15 pm

So I had previously coravind glasses of both 14 Bedrock/Bedrock and 14 Once and Future Bedrock and enjoyed them both separately (slight nod to the Bedrock at this stage). Was feeling crafty today so coravind a mixed glass of the two.....and it is honestly REALLY good. Like, so good that I'm going to do the same with the rest of both bottles. Fun stuff!

#2613 Post by **Jeff_M.** » May 23rd, 2020, 10:37 pm

Another bottle of 19 Lulu.

I ordered some, which just arrived last week. My next project when I head back to my locker

May 24th, 2020, 8:49 pm

Well, my 70 or so bottles of 2018 are sideways in wood racking as are ~ a hundred others. Still work to be done.

A blend of field blends. So meta.

May 25th, 2020, 11:58 am

I got spaces left for 20 bottles and I know I have at least one case at offsite storage in Bandon.

I’m guessing all-in, I’m under 250 bottles or red Bedrock.

Or should I type Tinto?

Is that Tsunami proof? Looks vulnerable.

May 25th, 2020, 1:01 pm

Not tsunami-proof but we are ~ 2M inland.

Maybe it's the paranoid Jew in me, but I would spread out the Bedrock into more than one rack. You know, in case something happened you don't lose your whole inventory

May 25th, 2020, 1:05 pm

I’ll get bungee cords around the rack soon.

#2626 Post by **M. Dildine** » May 25th, 2020, 5:33 pm

'15 Monte Rosso. Really nice.

#2627 Post by **Scott Watkins** » May 25th, 2020, 5:41 pm

Yeah yeah I know way too early but it seems I have somehow have 9 bottles of this laying around? so tonight I popped a 18 Pagani ranch and it's light your hair on fire good! I think it also has a long life ahead.

Not really in my wheelhouse, either alone or with food. Followed over almost 5 hours; it held up just fine but didn’t improve.

I had this the last two nights and thought it was out of balance as well. Nothing like the wine I had last May. Hopefully it is just a phase because I have a lot of this left.

Opened my first 2018 OVZ - lived up to the hype and a QPR monster. PNP but will give the next one a little air. Some fine-grained tannins in the finish and going to need a case of these...

#2630 Post by **D@vid Bu3ker** » May 26th, 2020, 6:11 pm

Finished off a bottle of 2019 Ode to Lulu Rosé - fabulous wine.

Mike Francisco · #2631 Post by **Mike Francisco** » May 27th, 2020, 8:30 am

2015 Gibson Ranch
Nose of cooked blueberry, spice cake and olive tapenade with rosemary, wet cement and soy jerked beef. In the mouth dense black fruit and cold strong coffee with molasses and tires on hot blacktop. Full bodied with soft to OK acid and firm but powdery tannin.

I don't know what this will become when it sheds some of that dense fruit but if I had more I would hide them for another 5 or more years and see. OK wine, that could climb to good if it can show even a little elegance with time.

I just looked back at my history and it shows I have purchased 701 bottles of wine from Bedrock years. That doesn’t count the case ‘09 Lachryma Montis I bought retail or other things like Sherman and Hookers Shebang going all the way back to the 1st two releases in the 1L jug with the thumb ring. I’m probably right at about 800 bottles.

It’s a sickness!

Just popped open the 2013 Bedrock Monte Rosso.

Very nice wine. It has come together.

Enjoying another 2013 Limerick Lane Zin right now. Delicious.

#2640 Post by **Albert R** » June 2nd, 2020, 6:34 pm

15 Old Vines-excellent. This has really improved in the last year. The tannins continue to ease. Black/dark red fruited with a hint of spice.

June 4th, 2020, 4:12 pm

215/216 slots full of red BR after finding some older cases in an offsite.

13 Nervo with BBQ this weekend.

Very curious to hear what you think my man. The one I opened mid 2018 was by far my least favorite Bedrock ever. In fact....prob the only BR that I flat out havent liked.

I’m on the mofo. With Hangars on Sat night!
