PnP, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium garnet with edge browning. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developed aromas of dried cranberry, leather, tobacco, and musty earth. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium tannin, medium+ body, medium+ intensity, 14.5% abv with developed flavors of dried red fruit, spice, and tobacco with a medium+ finish.
Balance: Very Good-Excellent Length: Excellent Intensity: Excellent Complexity: Very Good-Excellent
This has aged well and is showing excellent intensity and length. The fruit here is definitely showing some age but there is still a solid spice and acid driven back-bone giving it a nice lift. Should drink well for a couple more years, but I doubt it will improve from here.

Just didn’t find this to be one of the more enjoyable single vineyard zins from Bedrock. Seemed angular, if that makes sense. I’ve had a couple other wines from this vineyard and I guess it’s just not my thing. Always decent but never special.

Dark opaque burgundy color. Red fruit, some anise and herbs with time. Appreciate that this is on the lighter side for Bedrock's reds, I personally enjoyed this. 91 pts

3 hour decant. My tasting notes for this wine tonight mirror my notes from November 2019 but with the following additions: >We found it to be more integrated - fewer rough edges - now than it was 20 months ago. >We found the flavors to be richer in all aspects though not quite as vibrant, or bright, as they were when we last tasted this wine - and that was a good trade off.
It is drinking well right now, but I think the decant helped the overall enjoyment of the wine. I also think it can go at least another four years.
