Just a beautifully aged Pinot. Don’t wait too long as it is certainly showing its age, but drank perfectly on its own and paired with seafood. Dried red fruit, mild leather, lots of pleasure.

We've enjoyed many excellent Bedrock wines, this is one of the best. Drinking perfectly now.

surprisingly nice old bottle from the cellar. Soft tannins, fruit and leather quietly presented themselves. Nice change from today's fruit bomb Zins.

very nice - a well-priced bottle that has held up well with time. Medium-full bodied, moderately complex. Well above average finish. Well done!

Afraid this one seems like it has crested the hill. Mild, friendly taste, but not much structure or depth remain. Drink up.

not sure on this one - extremely light color, but seems like it hasn't come together yet.

Drinking very well - perhaps even better on Day #2. Mid-weight, a bit softer than earlier bottle. Excellent value.

Incedible rusty tasting, like a bucket of nails. Didn't improve with air. New experience for me.

I generally love this winery for its more traditional wines, but too much alcohol & sweetness in this bottle for my taste at this point.

one of my all time favorite wines - but this one a bit sweet for my taste, lacking in acid balance; Will cellar the others for a bit, suspect it may have benefited from a bit more age.

very fine; an excellent example of Dry Creek Zin, without the heat of so many others today. Drinking nicely now.

Beautiful color and aroma, but hoped for a bit more depth. Botrytis tended to cover the light-weight fruit. Still very nice wine; best to drink now, perhaps with bleu cheese, citrusy dessert or sweet wafers.

rich yellow color; lemon and medium mouthfeel - glad we waited on this one. Excellent!

we've been drinking a lot of Bedrock over the last three years - this was our favorite. Drinking perfectly now. Rich dried red fruit. Wonderful.

Fine, but pretty simple, modern style Italian red. Perhaps would grab more if on sale, but not sure it's a bargain in the $16-18 range.

opened up after 30 minutes or so - mellow prune, dried cherry. Drink up.

Impressed. Beautiful brick color, full and complex after an initial awkward nose. Tasted better and lasted longer than my 2011 tasting note suggested. Mature and enjoyable to drink now.

still youthful, but a wonderfully intense dried cherry after some air.

Expected a big, brooding Syrah, but instead subtle red fruit and mild tobacco. I suspect it is time to drink up.

nice, sharp flavor, but not as much depth or fruit as I'd hoped. Apricot & boytris. Very good, but don't think it will last much longer.
