2021 Bedrock Ode to Lulu Old Vine Rose

Vinous 92 – “Limpid orange-pink. Incisive, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, nectarine and citrus zest are complemented by steadily building floral and succulent herb notes. Silky and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated white peach, strawberry and tangerine flavors that show fine delineation and firm tension. Deepens steadily on a long, mineral-driven finish that leaves a repeating floral note behind.”

“Always a centerpiece of the Spring Release, the 2021 Lulu is a stunner. The tiny crops of 2021 meant that there is an extra degree of concentration in this wine. Also, because vines were struggling due to drought so much in Contra Costa County, we opted to pick some of our best Mataro/Mourvèdre parcels (all of Pato, some Evangelho, etc.) at lower sugars for rosé to take stress off of vines already doing some hard duty. Though the wine is, as always, based around old vine Mataro, we were also finally able to secure some great looking Cinsault and Grenache from a vineyard in northern Dry Creek that adds beautiful top note and perfume. All in all, one of the most complete Lulus we have made.” -Chris & Morgan, Bedrock Wine Co
