A little surprised, but still showing some youth. (An adolescent?) For the first 30 minutes, plenty of jammy fruit; pick your Zin(ful) favorite. But with a little air, the acidity woke up and it was a wonderfully balanced wine. Not shy by any means. But drinking well and probably has a solid 5+ years left.

Holy mouthfull of zin goodness Batman! This is no shy flower, but good Lord is it tasty. Really big/fruit forward notes of raspberry pie, cranberry sauce, and all-spice. Although less than a typical Bedrock, enough acidity to keep this from going overboard.....but AFWE crowd should definitely not apply. A bit of an outlier for Bedrock stylistically, but that being said, it's an absolutely delicious bottle of wine and one I'm enjoying immensely. Drink now. Like....right now.

PnVnD let air for 1hr. Dark purple crimson almost saturated with ruby to clear rim. Aromatically intense and complex wit cherry plum cranberry lavendar anise blueberry sage and a whiff of tar. Medium weight with nicely grippy cherry skin tannins. Very racy with and hugely flavourful on the palate with the flavours echoing the nose.Lingering cherry cordial herbal finish. Wow! Still youthful sad it my last bottle but glad I hit it in a sweet spot. Saved 1/3 of the bottle to try tomorrow.
Drinking very nicely on day 2 more integrated showing some nice floral notes on the nose and palate. Lots of life ahead.

Fragrant spice, berry nose framed by a fair amount of oak. Soft attack, with good grip in the mid-palate. Very Zin-like flavor. Mature. Medium length.

PnP. This has definitely matured and changed. Red fruit is less bright and at the forefront but now nicely integrated with the meaty bramble.
