Bedrock Wine Co. North Coast Syrah 2013
Bedrock Winery is producing some of the most exciting new releases we've tasted in California and the 2013 North Coast Syrah is a fantastic value - only 125 cases madeWinemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson believes that in order to make great Syrah in California you need lifted aromatics, fresh fruit and healthy acidity--and to get those things you have to pick early. And that's what he did. The 2012 North Coast Syrah comes from vineyards from California's cooler, coastal growing regions. including the Sonoma Coast, Napa Carneros and Mendocino. Using 50% whole clusters and 4.5% Viognier, this is delicous, food-friendly Syrah that tastes like Syrah should!

One of the best QPR California wines out there. Black and blue fruits, smoke, meat, olive and a good glug of acidity. Complex? No. Powerful? Nope. Clean Syrah with personality and balance for cheap? Yup. Every day and twice on Sunday at this price. And yeah, it ages well too - a little less exuberant fruit and a little more savory brine and everyone's happy you stuck a few of these in the cellar.

Deep purplish ruby red. Lovely nose that needed a little time to open up with notes of violets, olives, blackfruits, and white pepper. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Elegant body with some pizzazz with lots of layers and complexity. Notes of baking spices, olive tapenade, anise, cinnamon, blackberries, and dark minerality. Long and extracted finish, definitely from the whole cluster press. Drink till 2023. (91+)

Very floral with notes of white flowers and Honeysuckle mixed with cooked meats and white/black pepper. Very juicy on the palate with dense tannins. This wine still has plenty of room to age more.

This reached new heights after tasting some smoked ribs (green egg style). (Rating reflects wine before pairing)

I keep trying to save these to see what they'll taste like with age. Then I open one and wonder why I would want to do that. The fruit is calming down, but still forward and juicy. QPR killer.

Big jammy blackberry, watermelon seeds, baked plums, chocolate cherries in caramel. Toasty coffee with a splash of pool water. Blackberry gets deep on the palate, chocolate and coffee surface. Mint note, caramel and coconut with a beet edge. California comes in second with Washington boasting a column of acidity and unique earthiness. Good low production effort all in all.

QPR killer. Juicy CA Syrah with bright acidity to keep things moving on the palate. A steal at the price.
