When we visited the Bedrock winery in February, we tasted over a dozen wines with the highly personable Chris Cottrell. This was my favorite of all of the 2023s we tried. Longtime fans of California wines know that Old Hill Ranch is one of the most iconic vineyards in the state. The 2023 Old Hill is compelling wine with a well of complexity. Delicious now, it will only improve over the next 10+ years. “The 2023 Old Hill Heritage Wine soars from the glass with lifted aromatics. Bright red-toned fruit, spice, mint, blood orange, cinnamon, cedar and new leather are all beautifully sculpted in this nuanced, captivating red blend. This field blend of more than varieties is so aromatically intense. Painstakingly tended to by the Bucklin family, Old Hill is quite simply one of the most pedigreed vineyard sites in the United States. What a gorgeous wine this is. Drinking Window 2027-2038.” - 96 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
