Bedrock Wine Co.'s Heritage blend from Sonoma Valley pairs Zinfandel (60 percent) with Carignan and other traditional varieties to create a wine that captures both ripeness and restraint. The 2022 vintage shows deep purple color in the glass, with aromas that swing between dark fruit, spice, and herbaceous notes, licorice, menthol, toasted peppercorn, blackberries, and subtle floral and earthy undertones.
The palate is where this wine distinguishes itself. It's ripe without heaviness, with velvety tannins and bright acidity that keeps everything in balance. There's real purity here, a mouthwatering freshness that prevents the wine from ever feeling thick or overwrought. The finish is spicy and lingers with precision. This is a wine built to evolve gracefully; it's approachable now but has the structure to develop further over the next decade.

A blend of 60% Zinfandel along with Carignan, the 2022 The Bedrock Heritage displays a purple hue in the glass and offers aromas of licorice, menthol, toasted peppercorn, and blackberries. The palate is ripe yet weightless, with velvety tannin, even acidity, and a great, balanced feel throughout. It’s ripe but retains excellent purity and freshness, closing with a mouthwatering finish. I suspect this will age gracefully over the coming 10-12 years. (Jeb Dunnuck, July 2025)
The 2022 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage comes from a vineyard planted in 1888 to 29 different grape varieties. It has slowly unfurling scents of blueberry, red cherry and apricot with nuances of pepper, earth and floral potpourri. The full-bodied palate offers generous, nuanced flavors structured by youthfully chalky tannins and bursts of lip-smacking acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish.
