2007 Heritage Vineyard Red

The 2007 Heirloom Proprietary Red is a blend of 50% Zinfandel and the rest equal parts Carignan, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Barbera from a vineyard planted in 1888. An outstanding effort, it reveals abundant amounts of peppery, berry fruit intertwined with hints of incense, roasted herbs, and forest floor in a round, full-bodied, fleshy personality. This was my first look at the wines of Bedrock, which is the creation of Morgan Peterson, the son of Ravenswood’s legendary Joel Peterson. The emphasis appears to be on some innovative blends as well as several single vineyard cuvees. Tel. (707) 364-8763
