What Bedrock wine are you drinking tonight?

Popped open a '21 OVZ last night. Since the last time I popped one open these took a huge jump in evolution. Didn’t take any TNs down since I was watching Die Hard to get myself into the Christmas mood, but the glass nicely evolved over the duration of the movie.

Carbonation would imply a bit of RS and secondary fermentation?

I’m not sure. Could be an explanation. That went away or at least mostly with air.

2014 Oakville Farmhouse.

Spectacular.

Finally a Bedrock for the prodigal son! Did he dig it??

I brought the ‘19 Monte Rosso to Christmas Eve dinner last night and it was outstanding.

Sadly I just have one bottle of the 2019 vintage. Think it’ll keep improving or just go for it?

It’ll go decades, very structured but the aromatics are mesmerizing. I have 3 so said WTF.

He did, as did the lady of the house. She loves Bedrock. I popped a 2012 Papera for him two nights ago as well, quite a winner. Love them with maturity.

2012 Pagani still in a perfect spot! Love this wine and vintage.

Haha, grilling pork chops, the kid asked if I had “any of that Bedrock left…”

Sipping a 13’ Papera. Still a little zip to the finish, but definitely no longer in a primary window. Drinking good.

‘18 OHR, the harbinger of memorable wine experiences. Quickly becoming my favorite Bedrock Hrtg.

Did you pop and pour or decant? Someone upthread recently posted that the bottle of 18 OHR they opened was pretty tight/shut down so I haven’t opened either of mine. Curious if that was a one off, other 18s I’ve had are starting to drink pretty well.

It was p’n’p, there was a lot bundled up in it but I’m glad I opened it. Kinda like the ‘19 Monte Rosso the night before, I need to know what I have before I just sit on the bottles blindly. Every stage offers differing levels of development.

2019 Gibson Ranch. Bit of a monster, any air you can get it will be appreciated, seemed locked down right now. Dark fruit and a ton of structure on this, best days ahead.

It was a Bedrocking New Years Eve! From the library release. Special thanks to Jill at Bedrock for ensuring these got to me after a shipping mishap with UPS or FedEx. All were fantastic and ready to drink!

2015 Old Vine Zin from the library release. So spot on. Rich, layered with black raspberry, cedar, licorice and a touch of fig.

19’ Old Hill Whole Cluster. Damn this wine has a transitioning, long finish that keeps going well after swallowing. Not sure if Morgan was playing around with extra fruit or if this is something they’ll make again; I’d say make it again. This wine is a winner.
