Bedrock Ode to Lulu Rosé
As usual, the 2024 Lulu is based around ancient Mourvèdre grown in the delta sands of Oakley and Antioch. These 120+ year old vines put out balanced crops of deeply flavored fruit with great natural acidity that are a perfect vehicle for delicious rosé. Picked specifically for rosé at lower potential alcohol and whole-cluster pressed, the wine is both vibrant and dense, filled with grapefruit, stone fruit, and herbs. For us, the best rosé reflects a balance of seeming antonyms— vibrant but dense, pale but rich, delicate but mouthfilling, airy but grounded—and this is our goal each year we make the wine. We feel like 2024 is a great success.
“92 pts - A crisp, tangy, light and fruity wine made from vines that are more than 100 years old. It shows great acidity to keep it fresh and appetizing. Light raspberries, red plums, apricots and minerals on the palate. Medium-bodied. Drink now.”
“91 pts - The 2024 Ode to Lulu is as fresh and attractive as ever, if a little richer, more caressing and less steely than in recent years. A rush of sweet, ripe peach and almond opens, building accents of mint, grapefruit zest and rosemary as it wraps the mouth in a blanket of gentle acidity and fine minerality. Consistency and value are undeniable here, especially considering the 120+-year-old heritage vines Bedrock pulls this fruit from. Best of all, Lulu ages gracefully in every vintage. I see no reason why that won’t be the case in 2024, especially with a little extra meat on the bones.”
It takes a village to raise a wine…
