FWIW I dont love the Bedrock reds right out of the gate and drink em most at 3 to 7 years. Not wines I look to age more than that either

Nice work buddy! Haven't tried an Under the Mountain yet but it sounds delicious!

I will circle back. It’s been in the decanter for 30 mins. My wife loves the funk and I am warming up to it.Rich Brown wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 5:16 pmI really need to open a Pato Vineyard. Michael Martin has said multiple times that it's now one of his favorite offerings.

It was an accidental pull. Now 6 hours post-decant and it’s really come around. You can taste the transition from the expo series to a more traditional style of Syrah making. It’s a bit opulent, the oak holds it up nicely, the dark fruits are vibrant, but the wine is still begging for more time in bottle (unfortunately I only have one left after this mis-pull)
I agree. The bottle I opened needed several more years.AD Northup wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 6:25 pmIt was an accidental pull. Now 6 hours post-decant and it’s really come around.

It’s lovely now and really delicious with an herbaceous nose but I’m not sure it’s getting better still. Maybe? Definitely not falling apart.Rich Brown wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 5:04 pmLove it!

Gotcha - Appreciate the update buddy!

Really good, I would have guessed more Mourvèdre based on the color. Crunchy fruit, nice depth.
On day two the funk settled down and the fruit and complexity came out! I saved a half glass for day three. Still really good but if has lost a little of its edge. Really good overall.Michael Martin wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 5:31 pmMy tasting note on the ‘16, from a 2018 consumption date.Michael Martin wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 5:29 pmI think it’s one of the more unique Bedrocks and that’s saying something.

No decant. Charcuterie/violet/dark berry nose. Pepper, cola, black raspberry bramble, smoked meats, espresso. Tastes like if you would mix Griffin’s Lair Syrah with the ‘16 Old Vine Zin. Complexity in spades

I am calling best OVZ ever. Wouldn’t be surprised to see these on some best of lists soon.

Bottle was finished tonight after VinVac. First night was PnP in a Zalto Universal. Tonight I let the first glass sit in a Zalto Burgundy for 45 and used an aerator on the second glass. I liked it better tonight as more fruit came out. I believe this wine is in an in between phase. I would decant for 60-90 minutes.Albert R wrote: ↑November 18th, 2020, 6:26 pmThis is a bottle we are opening for Thanksgiving.
