Reviewed December 2019Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage opens with fantastic perfume: ripe peach, sliced blueberries, warm red cherries, underbrush, violet and dried tangerine peel with nuances of crushed stone, dried hollyhock and exotic spices. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with singularly perfumed fruit layers, with a chewy frame and wicked freshness, finishing long and evolving. Wow! (EB)

Vinous
One the brawnier wines in this range, the 2018 The Bedrock Heritage Wine is dense and powerful, as wines from this Sonoma Valley site so often are. Black cherry, chocolate, licorice, spice, bay leaf and earthy tones add complexity as well as nuance. This virile, potent red is going to need a number of years to be at its very best, but it is already super-impressive. The field blend is approximately 75% Zinfandel, 20% Carignan and 5% Mataro, but includes a total of 27 varieties. (AG)

Wine Enthusiast
This wine is mineral-driven and mysterious, offering distinct hints of crushed rock and crisp red fruit. From the producer's own site, it has a dusty quality to the texture that remains unfettered and sublime in nature, complementing its more savory edges. *Editors' Choice* (VB)

Wine Spectator
Heady, yet refined and polished, with boldly expressive black raspberry, orange peel and spice box flavors. This is full of additional nuances and builds toward big but fine-grained tannins. (TF)

Ground zero for Bedrock is this 131-year-old block in Sonoma Valley. Mostly Zin, but 27 varieties in all, including around 20% Carignan and 5% Mataro. One of the best examples of an old vine field blend you’ll find anywhere, and being Bedrock’s eponymous site, and home vineyard, you have to think this one gets even a little more attention to detail. This is exactly what I mean when I say that Zinfandel is the crown jewel of California’s vinous treasure.
