Description
The 2017 Zinfandel Bedrock Vineyard comes from 129-year-old vines, harvested August 31 and aged in 30% new French oak. “I bought this vineyard to save it from being ripped up in 2002,” says winemaker Joel Peterson. “Morgan and I have been working on bringing it back since then, farming organically and rebuilding the soil. The oldest vines in the vineyard were planted by George Hirsch. This is probably about 85% Zinfandel with tons of other varieties.” Medium to deep ruby-purple, it offers pretty aromatics of dried rose petals, saline, pink peppercorn, granite and crushed red berries with meaty and peachy accents. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, knit by finely grained tannins and mouthwatering freshness and finishing long with sweet berry fruits. An elegant Zinfandel expression. 226 cases were made.
