| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 190 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by GrapeScott on 4/17/2020 & rated 87 points: Found this older bottle among my stash of newer vintages, so thought this would be an interesting opportunity to see how Morgan's rosés age. This has evolved into quite a different wine than in its youth. Orange-yellow color, permeating aromas of onion skin and orange marmalade. I rather liked it for its complexity and interesting flavor profile but this is definitely at a stage where it is more of an exposition piece than a patio wine. (1786 views) | | | Tasted by McMalbec on 6/11/2016 & rated 88 points: Didn't know what to expect. Most of the fruit is gone but enough left with nice acidity to accompany food. Paired nicely with an egg and asparagus Strata.
As Steven T. recommends, time to drink up. (3135 views) | | | Tasted by indiscriminate palate on 4/23/2016: Like the last bottle, a disturbing orange hue (not at all like the bright, beautiful rose of 2013) and pretty much faded right after the initial attack of orange zest. Flawed, I hope. (3149 views) | | | Tasted by David_T on 4/22/2016 & rated 89 points: Some of the fruit has faded though there is still a watermelon note as others have mentioned. The light acidity and strong mineral notes are what shine right now. Also some herbs and a hint of marzipan. Drink up by the end of this summer. (3066 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 7/20/2015 & rated 88 points: A nice-enough rose. Dry, some watermelon. (3889 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 7/19/2015 & rated 88 points: Best Burger Event, Monthly Tasting Group (Jason and Tracy's, Mpls, MN): Light salmon color, drank 2 oz pour over 15 minutes. I found this most enjoyable, from magnum. showing some nice fruit yet, watermeleon and cherry hints with good minerality, balanced with medium length. 88- 89 pts. (3683 views) | | | Tasted by McMalbec on 7/19/2015 & rated 89 points: Still drinking well. Pleased I have a few left. With deli sandwiches, hard cheeses and a faro/green bean/ cherry tomato salad. (1809 views) | | | Tasted by indiscriminate palate on 11/27/2014 flawed bottle: Flawed, almost orange in color (right next to the beautifully-pink 2013 alongside it), with some spritz. Orange peel, saline/mineral. (2747 views) | | | Tasted by kenv on 11/27/2014 & rated 90 points: Appealing wine is not as flavorful as I recall. Nice to drink by itself, but doesn't stand up to Thanksgiving dinner. (2691 views) | | | Tasted by marka on 10/17/2014 & rated 86 points: Disappointing, big time. This bottle was dead. Not flawed, just dead. Too bad as it was my last 2012 and I loved these. They are much better than the 2013 at this point. (2590 views) | | | Tasted by drdebs on 9/30/2014 & rated 90 points: still drinking well. consistent with previous notes. last bottle. (2420 views) | | | Tasted by salil on 9/14/2014 & rated 87 points: Not especially complex, but this is all about refreshment with plenty of bright red berried fruit, some orange zest and snappy acidity beneath that keeps it light and crisp. (3124 views) | | | Tasted by silton on 8/31/2014 & rated 91 points: I prefer this to the 2013. On the border between chisled/stony and quaffable. (2118 views) | | | Tasted by kenv on 7/5/2014 & rated 92 points: Brought to dinner at Otsego Lake. This has become a seriously delicious, completely dry rose. Goes very well with antipasto, with grill chicken, or just with the lake. Very much enjoyed by everyone there. (2546 views) | | | Tasted by Ridgerunner on 7/3/2014 & rated 91 points: terrific juice of summer (2107 views) | | | Tasted by Ceo on 6/28/2014 & rated 91 points: Perfect after yard work. (2101 views) | | | Tasted by Ridgerunner on 6/25/2014 & rated 90 points: becoming our go to rose (2114 views) | | | Tasted by tooch on 6/22/2014 & rated 91 points: Liked this more than last time. The color was almost clear with just soft edges of pink. Just gorgeous....The perfume was of delicate strawberries, some grassy notes, and dried roses. Drinking beautifully! (2452 views) | | | Tasted by jfurey21 on 5/29/2014 & rated 89 points: fun to drink with fish tacos. enjoyable. (2243 views) | | | Tasted by thelostverse on 5/19/2014 & rated 90 points: Last bottle, perhaps the best one yet. Similar notes as previous bottles, but this seems to have added some depth since my last bottle. Paired lovely with some grilled herb chicken. (2171 views) | | | Tasted by McMalbec on 4/24/2014 & rated 92 points: Enjoyed with dinner at the Cork Tree in Palm Desert, CA. Complemented Smoked Ahi and Scallop entries. (2305 views) | | | Tasted by sinebubble on 4/12/2014: I get it; I'm now a believer. (2656 views) | | | Tasted by Martin Redmond on 4/3/2014 & rated 91 points: Consistent with prior review - Light copper/salmon color with stone-fruit, strawberry, and a hint of floral aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, dry, and crisp with medium acidity, and peach, wild strawberry, sweet orange rind, and mineral flavors. Long spicy finish. Blend of (mostly) old-vine Mourvedre and Carignane. (2491 views) | | | Tasted by btock on 3/16/2014 & rated 91 points: Final bottle from this vintage. Crowd pleaser. Served with tuna crudo and that worked. Great structure, very flavorful and juicy acidity. The next vintage up has a much darker profile, happy to have those on hand but will miss this version and hope future vintages trend back to where the 2012 is. Good stuff! (2262 views) | | | Tasted by abqdeb on 2/24/2014 & rated 90 points: This takes a while to open so give it time! Was very disjointed at first, but delish after a few hours.

| Bedrock Wine Co. Producer website2012 Bedrock Wine Co. Ode to Lulu California Rosé2012 Ode to Lulu Rose, Old-Vine Rose’, California: As I have stated before, I probably work harder on my rose’ then any other wine I make. Last year I loved the aromatic contribution and freshness created by picking even earlier then normal and by adding a touch of whole-cluster pressed Grenache. However, the Grenache was not old-vine, and I feel strongly about keeping the wine a whole-cluster pressed rose’ strictly from older vines. So, in lieu of the Grenache I have substituted even brighter and fresh ancient-vine, own-rooted, Carignane, from Contra Costa. The usual base of the wine is centered around the Mourvedre planted at Bedrock Vineyard in 1888, along with an additional 10% from Mourvedre planted in 1922 at Pagani Ranch. All lots were picked between 19 and 21.2 brix, whole-cluster pressed, and fermented with native yeasts. The finished rose is, in my estimation, the best I have made. Vibrant, delicate, and perfumed, the wine should be a great pairing for a food but also have some serious guzzleability.MourvèdreClick here to see Mourvedre photographed at Tablas Creek Vineyards in Paso Robles, Calif., in 2005.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
