Bedrock Old Vine Zinfandel
Every vintage of Old Vine Zinfandel offers a new opportunity for us to craft a wine that epitomizes the grape that has defined California wine since the 1850s. Our goal is to create a wine that reflects the sunlight and warmth of the state, while also showcasing the sometimes-overlooked strengths of the variety: natural acidity, spice, and nuance.
In 2024, the blend comprises 69% Sonoma County, 18% Mokelumne River, and 13% Contra Costa County. Vineyard sources include Sodini Ranch on Limerick Lane, Katushas’, Nervo Ranch, Evangelho, Teldeschi, Beeson, Papera, Old Hill, Banfield, and Bedrock.
Deep-fruited and spicy, this is unapologetically unadorned Zinfandel—briary, fresh, and filled with expressive aromatics. It was fermented entirely with indigenous yeasts and raised predominantly in older, large-format barrels and foudres.
“90pts Vinous: The 2024 Zinfandel Old Vine is soft, fruity and delicious, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. A burst of sweet red-toned fruit, cedar, new leather, licorice and orange peel informs this juicy, engaging Zinfandel. High-toned aromatics reappear to lift the finish.”
It takes a village to raise a wine…
