Introduction:
A rich, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, this wine blends power with elegance. Crafted by Bedrock Wine Company, it carries depth, structure, and nuanced character—a polished expression that remains firmly rooted in California's terroir.
Terroir:
Sourced from diverse Sonoma sites—likely including ancient vines in Atlas Peak, St. Helena, or Sonoma Valley—the fruit benefits from well-drained volcanic and loamy soils and cool Pacific breezes. These conditions foster concentrated flavors while maintaining freshness and acidity.
Appearance:
Deep garnet with purple highlights, dense and lustrous in the glass.
Nose:
Complex and inviting: blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and plum are layered with cedar, baking spice, tobacco leaf, and a hint of cocoa. Aromatic undertones of violet, bay leaf, and graphite hint at depth and layering.
Palate:
Full-bodied and vibrant, the palate reveals opulent dark fruits—black cherry, cassis, and wild blackberry—framed by fine-grained tannins and underlying minerality. Secondary layers of mocha, espresso, and black tea weave in, lifted by lively acidity that keeps it balanced.
Finish:
Long, structured, and harmonious: dark fruit echoes meld with spice, smooth tannin, and a precise mineral trace, leaving the palate both satisfied and refreshed.
Overall Impression:
This Sonoma County Cabernet exemplifies the vintage’s generosity and Bedrock’s deft blending. It is immediately enjoyable yet possesses enough structure for cellaring. Pair it with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, or aged hard cheeses for a truly elevated experience.
