Drink 2014- 2020
Though I am stoked on all of the 2012’s, I might be most excited about this wine for myriad reasons. 1) It is the first vintage from this vineyard that is owned and farmed by the indefatigable Tegan Passalacqua, who is also responsible for the winemaking and vineyard management at Turley (and, in our opinion, is making the best wines Turley has ever made). 2) The vineyard, planted in 1915 is dry-farmed, organically-farmed, and own-rooted in silica rich soils along the Mokolumne River. 3) The wine is anathema to most peoples’ expectations about Lodi in that it is perhaps the most feminine, bright, Grenache-like, expression of Zinfandel from 2012. Most people have the assumption that Lodi is much hotter than Napa and Sonoma but the reality is that many sections are actually on par with Calistoga, St. Helena and Healdsburg. In reality, farming for yield, and all of the related growing decisions, such as excess irrigation, lack of canopy work, lack of fruit work, etc. is largely responsible for wines of, errr, less drinkable nature. And this wine is compulsively drinkable- it has exotic, red-fruited aromatics and spice, beautiful toothsome fruit, and supple but sneaky tannins that are as fine as the silica soils on which the vines grow.

The 2012 Zinfandel Kirschenmann comes from a vineyard owned by Larry Turley's viticulturist and winemaker, Tegan Passalacqua, that was planted in 1915. Because of the sandy soils, the vines were never grafted to root stocks. Every Zinfandel I tasted from this vineyard revealed a Pinot Noir-like, perfumed, elegant, cranberry, cherry and dusty loamy soil-filled character. Bedrock's delicious example possesses those characteristics along with abundant fragrance. Production was only 300 cases and the wine was aged in 20% new French oak. It achieved 14.6% natural alcohol. Consume it over the next 3-4 years.
Morgan Twain Peterson, the son of Ravenswood's Joel Peterson, has hit the wine scene with a bang, producing vibrant, personality-filled, delicious wines from extremely old vines and, in some cases, virtually unknown grapes, such as Aubun, Teredalgo, Trousseau Noir, Le Noir, Mission, Trousseau Gris, Grand Noir and Abouriou, as well as Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Carignan, Alicante Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo. Many of these sites are heritage terroirs from the ancient past which, until Peterson's arrival, were largely ignored or were co-mingled into some innocuous industrial blend. Bedrock's portfolio is filled with exciting wines. The 2012s reviewed herein will all be bottled and released by Fall, 2014.

A Zin that taps into Lodi's true potential, this is sleek and light-footed, rich and structured. Aromas of wild flowers, raspberry and cinnamon open to graceful cherry, fresh sage and pepper flavors that take on power and weight on the finish. Drink now through 2021. 250 cases made. –TF (Issue Jun 15, 2014)
