Tried these last night w/ Susan & leftover (from Pig+Fig) turkey gumbo:
1. Bedrock Chard BienNacidoVnyd/SantaMariaVlly (Own-rooted/OldVines; 13.2%) 2019:Med.gold color; strong melony/Chard/almondy/slight herbal rather fragrant/perfumey light pencilly/toasty/Fr.oak lovely lithe BN Chard nose; fairly tart/tangy rich/structured some pencilly/toasty/oak strong melony/lemony/almondy slight stony/chalky flavor; very long melony/Chard/almondy/appley some pencilly/oak bit chalky/mineral finish; quite a lovely classic BN Chard that needs age; reminds some of the ABC BN Chards but w/o the oak and not as bombastic but more restrained; a lovely/well-crafted Chard that should age well. $39.00
___________
2. Bedrock Syrah Calif (14.5%) 2019: Very dark color; very strong blackberry/Syrah/ripe/boysenberry/spicy some peppery/cold-climate/black pepper some complex lovely nose; lightly tart strong blackberry/Syrah/spicy/ripe/boysenberry light black pepper/c-c light toasty/oak some complex flavor w/ modest/bitey tannins; very long/lingering very strong blackberry/Syrah/spicy some c-c/peppery light toasty/oak finish w/ modest tannins; a terrific Syrah at a terrific price; at the level of the Ojai Calif or the Jaffurs SBC Syrahs but a bit simpler; back up the truck on this one; we did to the tune of 2 cases; should age for 3-6 yrs. $20.00

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is Morgan's first Chard from BN Vnyd and a wonderful addition to his tableau.
The Calif Syrah is one terrific Syrah for the price. Performs well above its pay grade.

I ordered 8 bottles of the Syrah. That should do the job.

Got 2018 Syrah California, 2018 OVZ, 2019 OVZ.
The continued positive notes on Bedrock are reassuring. Purchases to date for us are a two half-cases. For us, that's substantial.

Bedrock is pretty much a sure thing.

Yes.
Granted I am speaking of the Carlisle red wines. I have very limited exposure to the white wines.
