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.

The 2022 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage Wine is a super-attractive wine from this site. Fresh and vibrant, the 2022 shows more energy than in most years. A change in farming, especially with regards to deleafing, yielded a wine with less heft than in the past. There's good energy, even if the wine feels a little light. In most vintages, the Bedrock is a potent, big wine. In 2022, the pendulum has swung back, but perhaps too far. This fruit was picked between August 31 and September 12.
