✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from one of the most historic mountain vineyards in Sonoma, the Montecillo Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in old-school California structure. Planted in the late 1960s by Kaare Lassen on the rugged, volcanic slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains—now within the Moon Mountain District AVA—this high-altitude site sits at roughly 1,700 feet. The dry-farmed, old vines struggle in the iron-rich, red soils, producing tiny, thick-skinned berries with intense concentration. Bedrock Wine Co. honors this exceptional terroir by employing traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, including fermentation with native yeasts and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a throwback to the legendary California Cabernets of the 1970s, characterized by its deep structure, vibrant acidity, and complex aromatic profile of dark currants, graphite, wild briar, and a signature mountain herbaceousness reminiscent of bay leaf and sage.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bedrock Wine Co. blev grundlagt i Sonoma, Californien, i 2007 af vinmageren Morgan Twain-Peterson MW med en dedikeret mission om at genoprette og bevare statens historiske vinmarker med gamle vinstokke. Med udgangspunkt i den legendariske Bedrock Vineyard i Sonoma Valley – som oprindeligt blev tilplantet i midten af det 19. århundrede – hylder Twain-Peterson og hans partner Chris Cottrell Californiens vinarv gennem en minimalistisk og terroir-drevet vinifikation. Vingården skaber vitale og stedtypiske vine på klassiske, historiske field blends såvel som traditionelle druesorter som Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon og Chardonnay. Bedrocks aftapninger er berømte for deres energi og autenticitet, og især den ikoniske Bedrock Heritage samt enkeltmarksvinene fra gamle vinstokke står i dag som uomgængelige pejlemærker for klassisk californisk vinkunst.
