a single-vineyard Meursault that frequently drinks like a premier cru

Bedrock Wine Company, Papera Ranch Heritage Wine, 2019 MSK_CHAMP_PS_22 a single-vineyard Meursault that frequentlyPapera Ranch is a survivor. This old field blend in the Russian River Valley was planted in 1934 by Charlie Papera and nearly lost during the post Sideways rush to rip out old vines and plant Pinot Noir. Bedrock's parcel is roughly 60% Zinfandel and 40% Carignane, with a few other heritage odds and ends, all co fermented as a field blend. Made with native yeast and restrained oak, it keeps the juicy, generous spirit of old Russian River Zinfandel
