"The 2014 Proprietary Red Papera Ranch Heritage includes an amazing number of varieties, all cofermented. The dominant grapes appear to be Carignan and Zinfandel, but there are Valdiguié, Petite Sirah, Syrah and others lurking in this moody, primordial blend. Loads of new saddle leather, dusty/loamy soil notes, pepper, lavender, roasted herbs, black raspberries, black cherries and blacker berries all jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple wine. For some weird reason, I was thinking of Priorat in Spain. But don’t put too much into that wayward thought . . . . Everybody should recognize the incredible speed at which Morgan Twain-Peterson has built his Bedrock Wine Co. into a world-class performer. Moreover, few people have done more to preserve and save heritage/ancient-vine vineyards than Peterson. Here is his new lineup of wines that shows his creative Midas touch for coaxing full character out of his diverse terroirs and blends. His commitment to excellence is something to admire."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
