  This is really in a good place! Pomegranate, mostly red berries. Fresh with gentle, rounded tannins. Keeps on lingering. Great!

  Opened for two hours (no decant). Initially remained a little closed, but over the third hour it opened nicely to develop a nice depth and finish. Some blue fruit and quite a bit of blackberry. Only drank half a bottle and am anxious to see how it continues to develop with time.

  Corovin'ed a glass. Really, really pretty. Has an element on the attack that kind of misdirects you, but dissipates into sweet cherry and dark cherry. Great length. You definitely will want a second and third date, and maybe consider marriage.

  You know this is going to be a good wine when you can't stop wanting to sniff the glass.
  
  A rich and deep nose that changes every sniff. Classic zin bramble, orange peel, sweet baking spices, a bit of lime zest, pine needles/forest floor, hints of cocoa and coffee, a little bit of smoke, and a touch of burnt brown sugar.
  
  Medium-heavy bodied, bright acidity, and just tastes like Bedrock Vineyard. Palate of blueberries, strawberries, a bit of vanilla, orange peel, sweet and spicy spices, a bit of tobacco leaf, and a hit of black pepper at the end. Moderate chewy tannins help replace the fruit with tea and black pepper.
  
  An almost never ending finish - starts off with the tea, blueberries, and blackberries, then it starts to head down a pine needle, juniper, blood orange, and cocoa path. Then the finish persists with granite, graphite, spiced orange zest, tea, and a bit of berry skin.
  
  I know there are many that want to hold on to these for 10+ years, and I can understand why they want to do that. But for me, this is just the right spot for me right now.

  This is delicious and interesting! One hour decant and the wine continued to open up further once in our glasses. There is something quite special about drinking wine made from vines planted in 1888, the year that "Casey At The bat" was published, the year that George Eastman received a patent on his Kodak camera. That is a long time ago for nearly anything American. Kudos to the visionary team at Bedrock who assiduously work to preserve these old vines!
  
  The wine was a dark ruby color. The nose offered spices and red to purple fruits. The palate further defined those fruits - dark fruits; blackberries, boysenberries, a zing of orange zest and robust, yet controlled tannins. Really nice!
  
  WS rated this wine a 95. I can't get that high. Especially when the other red wine for the evening was a 2015 Round Pond Reserve cabernet which was spectacular!
