Tasting notes
An addition to the Bedrock range, the 2014 Zinfandel Sherman's Gold is wonderfully lifted and aromatic, with plenty of red and purplish-hued fruits. Delicate and understated in style, the 2014 shows the more laid back side of Zinfandel, yet there is plenty of varietal character. This is a terrific first effort from Bedrock. The Sherman's Gold emerges from a parcel in Amador County, where the wines tend to be delicate, perfumed and medium in body, as is very much the case here.

Peterson’s first single-vineyard effort from Amador County is the 2014 Zinfandel Sherman’s Gold. This vineyard he’s working with has a long history with Ridge and is called Esola. Its composition is decomposed granite over sandy loam soils. This 2014 is a perfumed and aromatic style of Zinfandel, with a medium ruby color and plenty of sweet kirsch liqueur and raspberry in its seductive, lush mouthfeel. It doesn’t appear to be one that’s going to age a long time, but it has wonderful balance, enough acidity to provide delineation, and is a sexy, heady, feminine stylish wine that disarms the taster. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
