Bedrock Wine Co. Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) is elegant, polished and so pure. Precise, with gorgeous aromatic intensity, this rushes forth with sweet floral notes, red-toned fruit, mint, orange peel an spice. The 2022 is exquisite, delicious and very pretty. Dollops of Cabernet Franc and Malbec round out the blend.

Half of the fruit for the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 15 acres of the grape planted at Bedrock Vineyard, which in the past was sold to another winery. "I wanted really well farmed, organic fruit as a base for this entry-level Cabernet Sauvignon," owner and winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson, MW says, noting that much of the rest of the fruit is declassified from the Monte Rosso and Montecillo single-vineyard Cabernets. Deep ruby-purple, it offers detailed scents of blackcurrant, blueberry, violet, juniper and thyme. The full-bodied palate is light on its feet with juicy acidity, soft, supple tannins nestled into its perfumed fruit and a long, iron-laced finish.
