"Bedrock Wine Company is the brainchild of Morgan Twain-Peterson, the son of Joel Peterson of Ravenswood Vineyards fame. His Sonoma County bottling of cabernet sauvignon is a blend of casks from the Monticello and Monte Rosso Vineyards (adorned with a bit more production from the less well-known vineyard of Lichau Hill). It was raised in around fifteen percent new wood and comes in listed at 14.5 percent octane. The wine offers up a deep and classy bouquet of red and black cherries, tobacco leaf, a lovely base of soil, roses and a hint of new oak. On the palate the wine is bright, ripe and full-bodied, with a fine core of fruit, firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, nascently complex and slightly warm finish. This is good juice ..."

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.
A large, geographically varied California region producing cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast and richer Zinfandel and Cabernet inland. Its wines range from elegant to bold.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape known for deep color, firm tannins and a clearly defined structure. Blackcurrant, often described as cassis, is a signature flavor, accompanied by blackberry and, depending on the wine, cedar, graphite, mint or herbal notes. Oak aging can add spice and toast, while bottle age may bring tobacco, leather and other savory layers. The grape is a cornerstone of Bordeaux's Left Bank, especially the MƩdoc and Graves, where it is commonly blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and smaller amounts of other varieties. Beyond Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon has established distinctive regional identities, including Australia's Coonawarra and Margaret River. Vineyard climate and ripeness influence whether the emphasis falls on fresh fruit and herbs or richer, fuller expressions. Its tannins, acidity and concentration can support long development in well-balanced examples. Many accessible styles are made for earlier enjoyment, while more structured wines reward time as their tannins soften and their aromas evolve. Cabernet Sauvignon brings depth and backbone to blends and can also express a vineyard's character as a varietal wine.
