BEDROCK 10 SY SONOMA CST
The cool 2010 vintage has led to the most aromatically enticing and delicate Sonoma Coast Syrah to date for winemaker and owner Morgan Twain-Peterson. The wine’s backbone is from Wildcat Mountain Vineyard, which came into the winery late in October at 23.4 brix. The remainder of the wine is composed of Griffin’s Lair Syrah, a trace of Old Lakeville, and a smidge of Hudson for depth. All of the lots saw some percentage of whole-cluster, and I would merit a guess that the wine is roughly 33% whole-cluster with 20% new oak. Aromatically effusive, the wine smells of violets and cracked pepper. Currently, the wine is still tight and demands a good decanting prior to consumption.
