  Did not decant. Fleshy, great mid palate, rounded and full of red and black fruit. Ready to go but has years left

  Medium to dark ruby. Nose has a sweet profile of brown sugar and baking spice, then a little bit of burnt toast. Palate displays good energy, some alcohol. Medium to full in body, cherry liqueur, also slightly jammy and robust, finishing with notes of Mediterranean herbs, oregano and rosemary.

  Hmm... I just checked and found that I have written 78 TNs on Bedrock wines. Is that a good thing, or does it suggest I ought to expand my wine horizons? I still very much enjoy what Morgan and Chris do with their Bedrock wines. For the $39 club price I paid, this is an excellent wine. Goodness knows, I have paid more money for much lesser wines!
  
  I have to agree with other tasters who have suggested that this wine simply does not come out of the glass screaming, "I'm a California zin!" It makes you ponder a bit. It is more sophisticated and nuanced than most zins at the $40 (or less) price point. We got a mélange of dark fruits mixed with brighter cherry-toned flavors. But it also gave us a sense of earthiness and maybe pipe tobacco. Quite enjoyable. Decanted for 1.5 hours before enjoying.

  Took about an hour to open up. Dark fruit. Still brooding a bit. Nice layers. Had with fatty meat. Nice match.

  Blind tasting
  Medium ruby, filtered
  Aromatics medium +. Initially there is a blend of pencil lead, iron and dust for which there is probably a better descriptor but I couldn't think what it would be. Seemed like early tertiaries. Behind this a brown cherry and later some mint. No new oak for me but apparently 40%.
  Palate has a medium + body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium + to high, but relatively fine grained. Alcohol medium +. Ripe dark but bitter plums and cocoa powder.
  Finish has a medium + length. Balanced
  I guessed a 2013 right bank Bordeaux. Zinfandel never entered my mind
  I suspect this should be held for a number of years
