Tasting Notes

WA96

Possibly the flagship wine is the 2015 Proprietary Red The Bedrock Heritage. This ancient vineyard is planted with 27 different varieties, so I won’t even begin to list them, as that is a book in itself. This is Rhône Valley-like, with notes of Mediterranean herbs, blackberries, blueberries, loamy soil notes, incense, creosote, steak tartare and pepper followed by a wine of great intensity – built like a skyscraper, with layers of fruit and extraction. It is a sensational effort, super-complex, and best drunk over the next decade.

WS94

Broodingly complex, with aromas of black raspberry and dark Asian spice, touches of mint and deep flavors of smoky plum, bitter chocolate and licorice. The tannins are muscular but refined. Zinfandel, Carignane and other red varieties. Drink now through 2025.
