Bedrock Wine Co. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards. 

The winery is also dedicated to taking advantage of the diverse terroirs of California and their capacity to make an enormous range of styles, be it delicate and perfumed rosé, barrel-fermented whites, or violet and pepper-tinged Syrah. We are always exploring—from the heart of Oakville in Napa to the northern reaches of Mendocino and gold hills of Amador, the vastness of Lodi and the beaches of Contra Costa to every corner of Sonoma. 

The 2023 Sonoma County Cabernet is a straight-up banger of a wine for the price. Cabernet did brilliantly in the extended 2023 season, developing loads of color and richness while holding onto great freshness and perfume. Based heavily on Cabernet from Bedrock Vineyard and Lazy Dog, this also has some declassified barrels of Monte Rosso and Montecillo. Just about 90% Cabernet, it also has 6% of the richly colored and remarkably expressive Malbec from Lazy Dog and touch of Cabernet Franc from a well-known vineyard on the other side of the mountains to the east. Fermented in open-top tanks using indigenous yeasts, this was aged in smaller 225- and 228-liter barrels of which 10% were new. This showcases the wonderful perfume of currants, mulberry and cedar of classic Sonoma Valley Cabernet combined with the richness of the 2023 vintage. I think this is the best version of this wine we have made yet.
