From the producer: 

The origin story of modern sparkling wine in California runs straight through the Carneros winegrowing region. And no one can talk about the Sonoma Carneros without mentioning its most prominent and important growing family- the Sangiacomos. In fact, when the Sangiacomo family first converted from orchard growers to grape growers (the great pear crash was no joke), some of their earliest buyers were the first big sparkling wine houses. We felt it fitting that as a sparkling wine project dedicated to showcasing California terroir that we work with some fruit from this archetypal vineyard. Though Sangiacomo Vineyard is actually a lot of different vineyards we decided to work with a unique block that was planted in 1982 known as “Catarina’s.” Not only do the old vines produce dynamic and wonderful fruit, they are also located on the other side of the creek from the original Ravenswood winery, where Morgan would take time off from making Pinot Noir and criticizing Zinfandel to play among the vines.

The fruit profile is evocative of what came before there were vines planted here- with pomme fruits like pear, quince and baked red apples kissed with a touch of saltiness from the bay coming to the fore. Of the wines in the release this one is probably the most “classic” example of a California sparkler- It can be enjoyed by a wide demographic of sparkling wine lovers, from staunch classic Champagne drinkers to those who want something more unique.

An earlier generation of Californians was inspired by the great sparkling wine houses of Champagne. Producers like Schramsberg, as well as some directly affiliated with those Champagne houses like Roederer, came on the scene.

For today's generation, the inspiration is a little different. They still look to Champagne, but now it's to the Growers, and in particular to those younger growers who have focused on single vineyard/single vintage expressions.

California, of course, also has vintages and vineyards! It also has plenty of winemaking talent, and plenty of great sites for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. And so it is that we have Under the Wire, a new sparkling wine project from Morgan Twain-Peterson and his partner Chris Cottrell.

It's really hard to think of very many people better suited to this task. Morgan is an incredible winemaker. He started when he was 5 years old...seriously! And he and Chris have been turning our heads and many others with their great wines at Bedrock.
