Consumed over two days, with a 2 hour decant for the half bottle on day 1. Certainly lived up to the Bedrock hype. Tons of black fruit but not jammy like other cali zins. Acidity and soft tannins provide great structure, and very little hint of alcohol. Just a really smooth wine that should integrate well over the next few years. Sadly, my only bottle of this vintage, but glad I have other Bedrocks locked away for the years to come. Drink now or feel free to hold. Wonderful QPR.

Similar to most other notes. Needs time to open up....decanted ~2 hours before first taste and was still a little closed up front, but opened up over the evening. Typical Napa cab, big fruits and heavy tannins that mellow out as it evolves. Good effort on an off year.
