Tasting notes
The 2007 Syrah Old Lakeville (99% Syrah and 1% Viognier) is a layered, dense, rich, solidly made effort. Although it does not possess the complexity of the Kick Ranch, it is an attractive Syrah to consume over the next 4-5 years. This was my first look at the wines of Bedrock, which is the creation of Morgan Peterson, the son of Ravenswood’s legendary Joel Peterson. The emphasis appears to be on some innovative blends as well as several single vineyard cuvees. Tel. (707) 364-8763

Glass-staining ruby. A sexy, room-filling bouquet of black raspberry, boysenberry, potpourri and incense. Broad, palate-staining dark fruit flavors are impressively deep and pure, picking up violet and rose pastille character with air. A tangy graphite note builds on the finish and adds energy to the deep, seductively sweet fruit. More approachable than the Kick Ranch syrah, and much more flamboyant.
