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 vineyard—planted in the 1910s in a wind-blown oxbow of the Mokelumne River in eastern Lodi—is the only old-vine site in the region using organic, no-till, animal-integrated farming.

Since implementing these regenerative techniques, we’ve seen improvements in plant health, more refined flavor development, and slower ripening compared to previous years. The result is a wine that showcases the generous plum and cherry fruit and fine tannins typical of vines grown on sandy soils, while also retaining freshness and perfume—for us, exactly what the best of Lodi can offer.

This is one of our favorite options for a wine that delivers straight-up fruit deliciousness shortly after release, but that also gains complexity with time in bottle.
