This is the wine of the vineyard Bedrock is named for, and its history is hard to top: the site was first planted in 1854 by Generals William Tecumseh Sherman and Joseph Hooker, then replanted in 1888 by Senator George Hearst onto phylloxera-resistant rootstock, some of which is still bearing fruit today. Joel Peterson and his son Morgan Twain-Peterson took stewardship of the property in 2005, and Morgan farms it now, picking and co-fermenting the interplanted varieties together the way they were planted: Zinfandel at the core, with Carignane, Mataro and a scattering of other heritage odds and ends. Native yeasts and neutral-leaning oak keep it transparent. The 2014 growing season came in the middle of California's drought, with a warm dry winter pushing one of the earliest harvests on record and giving small, concentrated berries without the searing heat spikes of other drought years. A dozen years on, this is drinking beautifully now, with the fruit turning from primary to savory.

"The 2014 Proprietary Red Bedrock Heritage Proprietary Red is not yet in bottle and was scheduled to be bottled a month or so after I tasted with Twain-Peterson. The wine looks killer. Twenty-four inter-planted varieties (all put in the ground between 1888 and 1895), dominated by 55% Zinfandel and 30% Carignane, have produced this Mediterranean, full-throttle, pedal-to-the-metal, dark ruby/purple wine. Loads of grilled meat, steak tartare, Provençal herbs, lavender, blackberry, cassis and sweet cherries are all present in this lovely, full-bodied, voluptuously textured, big fruit bomb from Twain-Peterson. It’s a beauty, and best drunk over the next 5-8 years." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

More about Bedrock Wine Company

Morgan Twain-Peterson founded Bedrock in 2007 to showcase ancient vines in Sonoma, and he's become obsessed with vineyard history. The flagship Bedrock Vineyard dates to 1854—founded by Union generals Sherman and Hooker, replanted in 1888 by Senator George Hearst. Nervo Ranch's oldest vines were planted in 1896 on brutal slopes. The Heritage is a field blend of over a dozen grapes, co-fermented in the way these mixed-age vineyards were always meant to be made. These wines are literally history in a bottle.

Perfect Pairings

Slow-braised short ribs, porchetta, wood-grilled lamb chops, mushroom ragu over pappardelle, or aged Gouda and a bowl of olives.

Tasting Profile

Blackberry and plum edging toward dried fruit, with orange peel, spice, cedar and leather. Medium to full-bodied, with bright acidity, resolved fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish.
