Community Tasting Note

• rieslinghoarder Likes this wine: 93 points

  December 25, 2023 - Glassware: Zalto Universal
  Prep: Pop n’ pour, followed in the glass over 4 hours
  
  First of two bottles obtained direct from Bedrock this fall. I disagree with the recent comments that this is past prime and question storage/provenance of those bottles.
  
  Just starting to show some secondary characteristics. Black currant, dried blackberry, orange rind, mocha, and wet soil on the nose. Perfectly integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a nice concentration of flavors of black fruits, garrigue, dried smoky herbs, and a touch of citrus peel I get as a signature note from the Bedrock Vineyard Heritage wines. The wine has some body and weight to it on the palate, but isn’t heavy or jammy.
  
  Will probably wait a few more years to open the next bottle, but this is in a nice spot with a little air. Paired well with homemade teriyaki meatballs.
