2021 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard, USA, California, Sonoma, Russian River Valley

Vintage: 
2021
Score: 
93
Grade: 
A

Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is nice with black cherries, slight bramble, char and slight spice.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this is nicely balanced with good acidity.  Flavors of  black cherries, with spice and char.  Good finish.  This is drinking well but will age nicely over the next ten years.  It is excellent on its own and will work well with many foods. It went very well with vegetarian Indian food (moderately spicy).

Grade: 
A

One of the best Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in California.  Definitely a step up from the regular Bedrock Sauvignon Blanc bottling.  Green gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose  is very nice with some tropical fruit, slight citrus and some minerality.  Medium bodied.  Good balance and acidity.  Nice texture.  On the palate, this is tasty with mango, lemons and some minerality.  Depth.  Long finish.  This is delicious on its own and will work well with many foods.  This worked well with a Roasted Eggplant and Goat Cheese dish.  Drink over the next eight to twelve years.

Another great vintage for this wine.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with black cherries, raspberries, slight bramble, warm earth, and pepper.  Medium to full bodied.  Light to medium tannins.  Great texture.  Great balance.  On the palate, this is young but already delicious.  Flavors of black and red raspberries, black cherries and char.  Lively.  Long finish.  It is drinking great now but should go another ten to fifteen years although it may likely be more "claret" in style.  Drink on its own or with grilled meats, fowl or veggies.

Part of the Far Niente wine estates.  Deep ruby in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is big with raspberries, cherries, black cherries, spice, cola and slight char.  Medium to full bodied.  Semi-plush texture.  On the palate, this is a big Pinot with plenty of fruit.  Black cherries, raspberries and some char.  Moderate acidity.  Long finish.  This is very nice on its own and will work with bigger foods such a Salmon in a rich cream sauce.  Drink over the next eight to ten years.  The score should go up with some longer term cellaring.
