Friday, May 31, 2013 - The fundamental difference between the large producers and the smaller dedicated winemakers that bottle for lovers of wine, the stories behind them and the pride they bring to the product is emblematic in Bedrock wines. A commentary on this wine that was less enthusiastic and indicated what seemed a flawed bottle was met with a reply directly from winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson. He too believed the bottle may be flawed, asked me to try the wine again and regardless, offering to replace the bottle. So I opened another, this time with my wife. The first bottle now appears as clearly flawed. While I do not get the full aromatics that Morgan said are there, my wife did. But what I did get was a far more integrated and flavorful wine. I still think it is less powerful than previous Griffin's (2010 Griffin's is a stand out to me though I am looking forward to the rest of the 2011 class - none tried yet). I also think this is opened too young (at least 2014..if not later). Well structured and a solid wine and I will save the last bottle for a bit. Thanks to Morgan for reaching out to me. That says a lot about the winemaker beyond the great wines Bedrock produces. The enjoyment of drinking a wine is only enhanced when you know the maker cares what you, the consumer, think of the product. Classy...very very classy.
