2009 Bedrock Cuvee Caritas White
This is the biggest, richest,
white wine that Bedrock has
ever made. It is 53%
Sauvignon Blanc from the stony
hillside of Kick Ranch, and 47%
dry‐farmed, 110‐year‐old, Semillon grown
at 900’ on the reddest of
red soils at Monte Rosso
Vineyard in Sonoma Valley. The
wine was fermented using native
yeasts in 85% new French oak
barrels coopered specifically for the
wine by Sylvain and the former
cooper for Smith Haut Lafitte
in Pessac‐Leognan. The Sauvignon
component, which did not go
through malolactic, adds dramatic
perfume notes of star anise,
chamomile, peach blossom, and liquid
minerals. The Semillon, which
was allowed to complete ML,
contributes richness, figs, and
elements of uncured tobacco. I
feel it might be the finest
white wine I have made, and
will easily last 10 years. Winery Notes
250 cases made.
