Excellent!

Very nice note. A related question is how long you guys (including you in this conversation, David) give these Bedrock OVZs. I keep seeing notes in CT of people raving about the '21 OVZ, which currently slumbers peacefully in my cellar. I still have Ridge "Zin"s from the early aughts, so wondering if I'm just not calibrated to these Bedrock wines.

Bedrock is one of those producers where I like almost all of their Zins and Heritage* blends young or with age. I am just as happy to open a new release OVZ as I am to age it for 5-10 years.




*I really think Dolinsek is better on the young side.

Thanks! Much appreciated.
