Winemaker Notes
This wine comes from several vineyards planted across the distinct and wonderful terroirs of Sonoma County The hope is to make a wine that is perfumed and fresh but a bit more approachable in its youth. Picked at moderate ripeness levels to preserve varietal character, this was aged in predominately older oak barrels.
Drink now with some air or hold for up to a decade or more.

COMMENTARY: The 2021 Bedrock Wine Co. Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and endearing on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers aromas and flavors of bramble berries and oak. Try it with grilled lamb chops. (Tasted: May 8, 2023, San Francisco, CA)
While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
