Tasting notes
The two single vineyard Syrahs include the inky/purple-tinged 2007 Syrah Kick Ranch. Spring flower, lychee nut, honeysuckle (5% Viognier was included in the blend), black currant, and blackberry characteristics, a thick, juicy texture, and beautiful succulence, purity, and length are found in this impressive, but limited production Syrah. It should drink well for 8-10 years. This was my first look at the wines of Bedrock, which is the creation of Morgan Peterson, the son of Ravenswood’s legendary Joel Peterson. The emphasis appears to be on some innovative blends as well as several single vineyard cuvees. Tel. (707) 364-8763

Inky ruby. Pungent dark berries, cherry skin and Indian spices on the nose, with a strong undercurrent of smoke and minerals. Youthfully taut blackberry and cherry flavors flesh out with air and gain a sexy candied floral quality. Manages to be structured without coming across as hard, finishing with alluring sweetness and lingering floral notes.
