2019 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Old Vine - USA, California (10/16/2020)
Just barely off the truck, but I couldn’t resist the siren call. I poured a couple of ounces to check it out, then let the bottle sit for two hours. When dinner was ready I went back to it, and was blown away. This bottling is always delicious (open a 2017 if you have it), but this was turned up a couple of notches. During the release podcast, Morgan and Chris indicated that it had an extra gear, with more Bedrock Vineyard juice in the mix. It showed up in the depth and richness, which far exceeded prior editions of this wine. Supple, yet still structured; fruity yet still savory, it hits a heck of a sweet spot for $20. QPR champ indeed.
