The 2018 Sonoma County Cabernet is a blend of declassified barrels from Montecillo and Monte Rosso barrels blended with some wine from the coastal Lichau Hill Vineyard (located nears Gap’s Crown in the hills above Penngrove). Though technically all made at Bedrock Wine Co., the Lichau Hill element was made under the watchful eye of our talented assistant winemaker, Cody Rasmussen, who vineyard-designates the site for his Desire Lines wines. Being small and not wanting to overproduce, Cody asked if we wanted a few barrels that he was not using in his wine—it turns out they worked beautifully for this wine. This is classic, relatively unadorned Cabernet that showcases beautiful fruit. This saw only 14% new oak.
ABOUT BEDROCK WINE CO. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards.
The winery is first and foremost a mission-driven operation dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating old vineyards around California. These vineyards, planted by California’s viticultural pioneers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are living pieces of history. Not only are we able to draw inspiration from those very pioneers, but we get to actually use the materials they planted, which have survived two world wars, Prohibition and a constantly changing marketplace. If something has been growing for over 100 years it not only deserves the respect of us humans, but it probably makes some darn good wine too.
The winery is also dedicated to taking advantage of the diverse terroirs of California and their capacity to make an enormous range of styles, be it delicate and perfumed rosé, barrel-fermented whites, or violet and pepper-tinged Syrah. We are always exploring—from the heart of Oakville in Napa to the northern reaches of Mendocino and gold hills of Amador, the vastness of Lodi and the beaches of Contra Costa to every corner of Sonoma. Each year, if we are lucky, we find something quirky and new. Throughout all the wines, though, is a dedication to making wines that maintain poise while being infused with California sun. And, most importantly, that are delicious.
