Tomorrow is the day! For anyone who isnt aware yet (where ya been?) this is Morgan and Chris from Bedrock’s traditional method, all vintage dated, single vineyard single varietal (for almost all), sparkling wine project.
Six bottlings in this release:
2017 Alder Springs Sparkling Chard
2017 Alder Springs Sparkling Pinot
2017 Brousseau Sparkling Chard
2016 Sangiacomo Sparkling Chard
2018 Heron Lake Sparkling Pinot/Chard blend
2018 Bedrock Sparkling Zin
And we have a long thread on UtW on page 2+ for more info on past releases.
These sparklers are really good and distinctly different. Last year Brosseau was my fav as it had the most structure.
Don’t sleep on the Sparkling Zin people! Of all the UTW’s I opened last year, I was most impressed with that one. It is a charcuterie boards best friend. Plus it’s awesome with smoked pulled pork and burgers on a warm summer night.
I am kicking myself for not taking notes when we did a tasting at the Hooker House last fall. Ordered one of each, except for the zin and going for 4 of those. I remember really liking that one when they poured some for us.
Question to those who have ordered them in the past - how ready to go will they be? I feel that Bedrock releases their still wines way too early even for early consumption. Wondering if it is the same here.
