I’m pretty meticulous with my tasting notes but not always the best at archiving these emails. So maybe it slipped through the cracks but I can’t find an example of me ever offering Morgan Peterson-Twain’s Bedrock Old Vine Zinfandel.
Which is shocking because it’s one of my triumvirate of California Zins along with Ridge and Matt Cline’s Three. The common thread is always ridiculously old vines, generally planted by European immigrants during the turn of the last century in sandy soils that were naturally resistant to phylloxera.
Teldeschi Ranch (1890s)
Evangelho (1890s)
Nervo (1896)
Sodini (1905)
Katushas (1915)
And don’t forget their own estate property, the oldest of the bunch was planted in 1888. The wine is always outstanding but in 2021 it’s even better (and higher scored). The wildfires caused the usual vineyard sources in Amador county to be picked early for rose.
The only available solution was to make up the difference with an extra dose of Teldeschi Ranch which composes over 20% of the blend this year. I’ll take that any day.

Spry and briary, this Zinfandel is fun to drink, with lively black cherry, licorice and dried sage flavors, which take on richness and cracked pepper accents toward zesty tannins. Drink now through 2031.

At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
