About the Wine:

Though we have crafted hundreds of wines from dozens of vineyards across California since then, the one constant has been the wine from this exceptional vineyard—it remains the most important (or “flagship,” in marketing speak) wine we produce. In many ways, the Bedrock Vineyard Heritage Wine most closely mirrors the evolution of the winery: it has grown from the initial six barrels made in 2007; its style has shifted subtly over time from an eager shout to a more assured confidence; and the vineyard itself has transitioned from conventional farming to become the only ancient-vine site in California that is Regenerative Organic Certified. We feel the 2024 vintage is one of the strongest wines of the year. Yields were low in 2024, so there’s less to go around, but the core of the wine remains rooted, as always, in Blocks 39 and 42 located on the “crown” of the vineyard along with ancient Carignan and Mourvèdre. The final blend is approximately 62% Zinfandel, 19% Carignan, 10% Mourvèdre, and 8% from the other 20+ varieties.  Deeply scented of dark red fruits, anise and citrus this is both powerful and focused on the palate and will age gracefully for two decades or more. 

Ratings & Reviews

98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Officially certified regeneratively organic, with Tablas Creek among their few peers in this category, the 2024 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage Wine comes from the original vineyard where everything began for them. More reserved aromatically at first, it slowly reveals red fruits, mint, saline minerality, and brilliant mouthwatering acidity. Structured and detailed, it has excellent length and should age beautifully over the next two decades. Drink 2026-2046." -Audrey Frick (Jun 2026)

96 Points - James Suckling:
"Such an interesting wine. Leads with robust, just-ripe wild berries, crushed dried flowers and dried herbs. Medium-bodied and structured with a silky mid-palate followed by mineral tension. Changes every time you go back to the glass. The finish is long, flavorful and vibrant. Drink or hold." -Courtney Humiston (May 2026)

95 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The 2024 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage comes from vines planted in 1888; the vineyard was Regenerative Organic Certified in 2025. A blend of around 62% Zinfandel, 19% Carignan, 10% Mourvèdre and a small portion of more than 20 other varieties that are interplanted in the vineyard, it has slowly blossoming scents of peach, blueberry, bitter orange, rooibos tea, earth and iron-like undertones. The full-bodied palate is bursting with pure, detailed flavors. It's structured by firm, suede-textured tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, elegant finish. Drinking Window: 2026-2041." -Erin Brooks (Aug 2026)

94 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2024 Bedrock Heritage Wine is a powerful, deep wine. Muscular contours and dark, enveloping fruit shape this virile, almost somber Zinfandel-based field blend. The 2024 needs time to soften, but it is also not quite as massive as some previous vintages, which is a positive. The overall direction at the Bedrock estate vineyard has been impressive of late. For years, I have asked myself if this site has the potential to make wines of the same level as some of the neighboring properties. (Drink between 2027-2037)" -Antonio Galloni

94 Points - Decanter:
"Fully fruited, but there's so much violet-driven elegance. Ample structure frames this old-vine fruit – more than 135 years old. The palate flashes piques of blood orange and plump, red cherries and red plum skins. There's a savoury throughline with eucalyptus and an undeniable mineral freshness. Drinking Window: 2026-2033." -Clive Pursehouse

93 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Potent in structure and brooding at the core but plump with personality, offering blackberry and currant flavors accented by bitter chocolate, dark Asian spice and licorice tones as this builds tension and tannins on the finish. Hands off for now. Zinfandel, Carignan and Mourvèdre. Best from 2027 through 2037. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,200 cases made." -Tim Fish (Aug 2026)
