2012

Kamen Vyd. Cabernet Sauvignon

$75

VM 92 (5/2014): (80% new oak): Inky ruby. Smoky cherry and dark berry aromas, with hints of licorice, tobacco and vanilla in the background. Spicy and focused on entry, then deeper and broader in the middle, offering juicy blueberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of succulent herbs. The vanilla note comes back strong on the penetrating finish, which is smooth, smoky and very persistent. Stephen Tanzer.

2012

Kamen Vyd. Cabernet Sauvignon

Scuffed Label

$75

2012

Kirschenmann Vyd. Zinfandel

$59

VM 93 (6/2014): Vivid ruby-red. Intensely perfumed scents of cherry skin, redcurrant, rhubarb, anise and fresh bay, along with a chalky mineral undertone. Dry, nervy and pure, offering vibrant red fruit and floral pastille flavors and complicating spiciness. Gains weight and power with air and finishes with incisive minerality and excellent persistence. There's something intriguingly nebbiolo-like happening here. This dry-farmed vineyard was planted in 1915. Josh Raynolds.

2012

Mixed Blacks Weill a Way

$59

VM 91 (2/2014): A plump, juicy red, the 2012 Mixed Blacks Weill a Way Vineyard is also one of the more approachable wines in this range. Dark red and black fruit, savory herbs, licorice and tobacco all jump from the glass in a flashy, layered wine to drink now and over the next few years. This is yet another super-impressive effort from Bedrock. Best of all, the Weill Away offers a bit more near term appeal than some other 2012s. Antonio Galloni.

2010

Monte Rosso Vyd. Zinfandel

$69

VM 92 (5/2012): Bright purple. Black and blue fruits on the highly fragrant, spice-accented nose. Juicy, penetrating blueberry and bitter cherry flavors show excellent clarity and pick up sweetness and a smoky nuance with air. Fine-grained tannins add shape and focus to the very long, seamless, alluringly sweet finish.

2011

Monte Rosso Vyd. Zinfandel

$55

WA 92 (4/2013): Bedrock’s 2011 Zinfandel Monte Rosso is pure seduction. Plums, mocha, black cherry and menthol notes all make an appearance as this flashy, expressive Zinfandel shows off its considerable personality. Here, too, the wine’s creamy texture and impeccable overall balance shine with uncommon elegance. All the elements are in the right place. This is a surprisingly soft wine for Monte Rosso. As such, it will drink well upon release. Readers who prefer tertiary complexity will want to cellar the 2011 for at least a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2031.

2012

Papera Ranch Heritage

$55

VM 93 (2/2014): The 2012 Papera Ranch Heritage, a Zinfandel-based field blend red, is another drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice and new leather all burst from the glass. The style is rich, intense and voluptuous, but all the elements are in the right place. Today, the flavors are really popping. The 2012 is 54% Zinfandel plus an assortment of grapes, including Carignane, Petite Sirah, Valdigue, Cabernet, Trousseau Gris and others from a site planted in 1934.

2015

The Bedrock Heritage

$50

WA 96 (10/2016): Possibly the flagship wine is the 2015 Proprietary Red The Bedrock Heritage. This ancient vineyard is planted with 27 different varieties, so I won’t even begin to list them, as that is a book in itself. This is Rhône Valley-like, with notes of Mediterranean herbs, blackberries, blueberries, loamy soil notes, incense, creosote, steak tartare and pepper followed by a wine of great intensity – built like a skyscraper, with layers of fruit and extraction. It is a sensational effort, super-complex, and best drunk over the next decade.

JD 95 (6/2018): Similar to the 2013, the 2015 The Bedrock Heritage is a field blend from a site planted in 1888 that contains 19 different grape varieties, with the large portion being Zinfandel and Carignan. The 2015 is another singular, exotic, incredibly satisfying red that offers terrific complexity in its plum and blueberry fruits, cigar wrapper, mulled spices, and chocolate aromas and flavors. Deep, full-bodied, concentrated, and undeniably sexy on the palate, with loads of fruit yet no apparent weight or richness, it’s already impossible to resist, but I suspect it will keep for 10-12 years.

VM 94 (3/2017): The 2015 The Bedrock Heritage Wine is a masculine, powerful wine with tons of fruit and structure. As always, the Bedrock is built on power. A rush of sweet red cherry, pomegranate and blood orange bursts from the glass in this deep, tightly wound Zinfandel-based red. (Drink between 2018-2028). Antonio Galloni.
