Short decant of about 45 minutes. Fruit forward, raspberry, blackberry , some licorice, oak stays in the background. Ready to drink now, but would certainly benefit from more cellar time.

Opened and poured a half hour later. While still quite a young wine showing quite a lot of concentration, this wine was very opulent from the get-go. While you could wait for the oak to better integrate, tannins are tame even at this early stage. I felt this was overripe for my taste with a hot (labeled at 14.5%), somewhat rough finish.

Splash decant at 66 degrees, sat for 10 minutes and poured a glass. Dark fruit on the nose, fairly open for a young wine. Another enjoyable Bedrock zin.

Day 1: deep dark fruit on the nose: plum, a little jammy, black cherry. Some oyster sauce/umami as well. I'm not sure what the moourvedre component was this year, but it's not coming through too much. More plum/cherry/umami on the palate, as well as blackberries and a little ham. It has structure--mostly from the acid, less the sandy tannins, but I wouldn't call it a structured wine. It's big and fruity, but balanced as well.
On day two, the nose is more expensive and richer. Plum skin, fresh blackberries, strawberry jam. A little cinnamon/clove pokes out as well. The tannin is classic contra costa, and outline the sugar glazed ham, bacon, plum, and vaguely rose notes. Really great right now--it's a shame this is my last bottle.

Very aromatic and savory with excellent depth and balance. Should continue to improve with age for several years.
