Why We Stock It

Bedrock Wine Co. sources from old-vine parcels across Sonoma Valley to create blends that reflect the region's mixed soils and microclimates. This Heritage bottling is approachable now but has the structure to age gracefully over the next several years, making it a versatile bottle for both immediate enjoyment and a modest cellar investment.

Winemaking

The blend combines fruit from multiple old-vine parcels in Sonoma Valley, fermented and aged in a mix of neutral and French oak to preserve the character of the fruit while building structure for the cellar.

Serving & Pairing

Serve at 62 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit; no decanting is needed, though the wine will open up gently over an hour in the glass. Pair with roasted lamb, beef stew with root vegetables, or aged cheddar. The mineral edge makes it equally good with a simple grilled steak or mushroom risotto.

The Estate

Bedrock Wine Co. is a grower-producer focused on old-vine Sonoma Valley fruit, working with heritage vineyards across the region rather than owning a single large estate. The approach prioritizes the vineyard sources and minimal intervention in the winery.

Terroir

Sonoma Valley's diverse patchwork of volcanic and alluvial soils, morning fog, and warm afternoons create conditions for balanced ripening. The blend draws from multiple sites across the valley, each contributing distinct mineral and fruit character that together express the appellation's complexity.
