Bedrock Monte Rosso Zinfandel

2020 Vintage- In 2020, we were thrilled to be offered an additional small amount of fruit from an equally old (1880s-planted) block of fruit at this venerable ranch. In contrast to Block 32, which faces west, Block 25 is at higher elevation and faces north—something very rare at Monte Rosso. The blend of the two is a wine that has even more perfume and racy mountain fruit than previous iterations, showing all the pepper, blood orange, and raspberry typical of the site. Composed primarily of Zinfandel, there is a small amount of interplanted Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, and a single, beautiful Tempranillo vine. As always, a favorite of the vintage from one of the grand dames of Zinfandel sites in the world.
