For the first time, Bedrock Wine Co. proudly presents a Zinfandel that truly embodies the spirit of Teldeschi Ranch—a vineyard they’ve worked with since their inaugural vintage in 2007. Traditionally known as Lorenzo’s Heritage Wine, this 2020 release shifts focus to showcase the pure, unadulterated essence of Zinfandel, sourced from ancient vines planted behind F. Teldeschi Winery. These vines thrive on the gravelly, iron-rich soils of the East Dry Creek Bench, often referred to as the “prime rib” of the region, delivering a wine that’s bold, expressive, and deeply rooted in Sonoma’s terroir.

Crafted with minimal intervention, this Zinfandel offers a warm embrace of cherry and black pepper flavors, hallmarks of Dry Creek Valley’s unique microclimate. A touch of interplanted Trousseau Noir (affectionately called Bastardo by John Teldeschi) and Carignan adds complexity, creating a harmonious blend that’s both approachable and age-worthy.

Perfect for those seeking an authentic Sonoma County experience, this wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, grilled meats, or a cozy evening by the fire. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to California Zinfandel, this 2020 vintage promises a memorable journey through Dry Creek Valley’s storied vineyards.
