Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 9, 2015 - I have been purchasing bedrock since the 2009 vintage. When I first tried the wines based off the fantastic reviews I found at WB, I thought they were just young. I decided to start putting them away as soon as they arrived and not touching them for at least 2 years. As I have accumulated more than a few bottles, I wanted to start drinking some and thought this wine would be "Safe" Popped and decanted for several hours. At first I get big, black fruit and lots of it, with a semi strong tannic background/structure. But at mid palate I seem to get this tart acidity. Its a stark contrast to the initial impression and not complimentary in my opinion. The wife and I followed this wine over several hours and the tartness did die down, but what was left was just not showing me what all the hype says about this maker. I think I have come to the realization Bedrock simply not my style. Sad now that I have so many bottles.

For what it is worth 2010 is one of the biggest outlier vintages we have had in California due to the cold summer and then unimaginable heat that came in late August and caused a fair amount of sunburn. I would be happy to replace this bottle with a North Coast Syrah from 2011, 12, or 13, all of which I prefer and might be more to your taste.
