ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "Morgan Twain-Peterson and Chris Cottrell draw on a stunning collection of sites for the Bedrock wines. Tasting through this range is always illuminating, as the wines are essentially a tour through many of California’s most iconic vineyards."
"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) is elegant, polished and so pure. Precise, with gorgeous aromatic intensity, this rushes forth with sweet floral notes, red-toned fruit, mint, orange peel an spice. The 2022 is exquisite, delicious and very pretty. Dollops of Cabernet Franc and Malbec round out the blend."
JEB DUNNUCK 91 POINTS - "The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County is a blend from several sites, though the backbone of its fruit comes from Bedrock estate vineyard and includes 6% Malbec from Los Carneros. As with the 2023, it saw a delicate hand in the cellar, with 15 % new oak barrels, as the winemakers are striving for a more classic and aromatically driven style. The nose offers notes of blackcurrants, cocoa, tobacco, and woodsy earth. Full-bodied, it has great aromatics and is savory on the palate. It retains very good freshness, with ripe tannins and a clean lift through the finish. It offers more immediacy than the 2023 and would be a killer wine to snap up on restaurant lists, with a lot of value. Drink 2025-2032."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 91 POINTS - "Half of the fruit for the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 15 acres of the grape planted at Bedrock Vineyard, which in the past was sold to another winery. “I wanted really well farmed, organic fruit as a base for this entry-level Cabernet Sauvignon,” owner and winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson, MW says, noting that much of the rest of the fruit is declassified from the Monte Rosso and Montecillo single-vineyard Cabernets. Deep ruby-purple, it offers detailed scents of blackcurrant, blueberry, violet, juniper and thyme. The full-bodied palate is light on its feet with juicy acidity, soft, supple tannins nestled into its perfumed fruit and a long, iron-laced finish."
