WTN: Bedrock SauvBlanc SonomaVlly '15....(short/boring)

by TomHill » Sat May 09, 2020 4:43 pm

We tried this last night:
1. Bedrock SauvBlanc SonomaVlly/SonomaCnty (14.1%) 2015: Med.dark gold color;; strong honeyed/orangey light toasty/pencilly/oak some melony/SB very slight herbal quite complex beautiful nose; bit soft quite honeyed/orangey rather ripe/melony/SB/slight herbal rather rich some pencilly/oak slight metallic complex flavor; very long/lingering quite melony/orangey/honeyed light pencilly/oak slight herbal bit nutty complex finish; quite an interesting fully mature white.
___________
A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I was quite surprised by this wine. It was showing a lot more maturity than I'd expect from a '15. It was hardly recognizable as a SB. Reminded more of a mature Semillon/Chard blend. That said, I absolutely loved this wine. I've been quite impressed across the board by Morgan's SauvBlancs.

I'm glad you included the bully pulpit because as I was reading the descriptors I thought no way that's SB. Interesting that overall, however, you did like it.

Yeah, Jenise.... the fact that it didn't speak of SB didn't bother me in the least. I just loved the wine for whatever it was.

Fair enough! I've felt that way about many a wine. In fact, the fact that's it's so different is often the most attractive thing.

Doesn't Morgan include some Semillon in his Sauvignon Blancs?

Yup, David...sometimes. But I don't know if this one had any.
