  Coravin'd for an hour. This bottle had been previously "accessed" over a year ago. Totally opaque, "black hole" color with a very thin, purple-tinged rim. A high-toned nose of pan roasted Indian spices, smoked sage and anise. Viscous and soft on the palate , the flavors include licorice-tinged black and red fruit--bright and liveley--with crisp acidity and bakers chocolate-like tannins. Quite long and dry on the finish. A remarkable first effort. Drink now through 2018.

  Coravin'd for 2 hours. Deep purple/black right to a very thin clear rim. Smoking sage, anise and cooked black fruit are just part of the aromatic show. A very rich, soft and velvety texture greets the palate leading to bright, juicy flavors of fresh black fruit, roasted spices and a citrus-like high note. The acidity is lively and the tannins are all but fully resolved, I would drink this soon while the balance is excellent. Now through 2017.

  From Morgan's first vintage as Bedrock. I remember tasting a barrel sample of this with him in May of 2008 at Lake Tahoe. Coravin'd 2 hours. Deep purple black right to the a very thin clear rim. Smoked sage, anise and cooked black fruit are just part of the aromatic show. A very rich, soft and velvety texture greets the palate leading to bright, juicy flavors of fresh black fruit, roasted sweet spices and a hint of citrus oil. The acidity is lively and the tannins all but fully resolved, I would drink this soon while the balance is so excellent. Now through 2017.

  14.4 % alc., 1% co-fermented Kick Ranch Viognier, 25% whole cluster, 2 barrels produced. Decanted 2 hours. Bright purple-tinged ruby. Ripe and savory nose of jammy fruit, sweet spice, lavender with a pretty floral element. Initial flavor impression is juicy and viscous but not at all heavy. Spiced ripe plums, a touch of bakers chocolate show nice lift and supple tannins. While this has the structure for more short term development it is open for business tonight. Drink now through 2014.

  14.4 alc. 1% Viognier, 25% whole cluster. 2 barrels produced. Decanted two hours.Vibrant crimson/purple with a nose of citrus peel, licorice, lavender and sweet spices that's bright and lively. Soft red and black fruit flavors are light on their feet, perfectly balanced and not-at-all heavy. This feminine effort is immaculately constructed, long on the palate while maintaining a lovely lightness. Delicious now but who knows what secondary developement will bring? 91+. I plan to wait a few years before opening another one. 2011-2015?
