This is year in year out one of the go-to Cali Rosés and considering it is named for the late great Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier, it better be. The blend is mostly Mourvedre, another nod to Bandol, with a bit of Grenache and Cinsault. Cranberry, raspberry and wild strawberries are accompanied by more unusual flavors of peach, and apricot. Texturally, the wine is one discovery after another as it continues to impress in different ways. Saline inflected acidity keep you coming back for more. Limited production, so get it while it lasts.

Embracing the heritage of ancient vineyards and ensuring they continue to prosper is the most noble duty of today's California vigneron. Bedrock Wine Co. has used this concept as the foundation of their winery, farming vineyards themselves and continuing to support other growers who work with historic sites. There's no winery in the state that sees such a diverse range of revered vineyards like the guys at Bedrock. The story of place is undoubtedly where it all starts, but the quality of wines from this duo represent the very best that California old vines have to offer.

The duo behind Bedrock are Morgan Twain-Peterson and Chris Cottrell. Morgan grew up working alongside his father, Joel Peterson in the vineyard and cellars of the family winery, Ravenswood. A child prodigy, he began making his own wine, Vino Bambino, at age five and, starting with the 1986 vintage, it was poured at top restaurants in New York City. In 2007, Morgan founded Bedrock Wine Co. using a converted chicken coop on the outskirts of Sonoma.

Morgan met Chris in NYC at the small boutique wine shop they worked at on the Upper East Side. A strong friendship grew, and after a decade selling fine wine in NYC and many harvests with Morgan he received a call from his buddy telling him it was time the two made wine together.

The vineyards they use are not the only “old-school” thing about Bedrock: whole cluster fermentation, native yeast and minimal intervention are harnessed to highlight the complexity of these ancient sites. The resulting wines are powerful and concentrated yet balanced and elegant; delicious young but capable of developing over the decades.

"The 2023 Rosé Ode to Lulu is a blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah. Deceptive in its first impression, the 2023 is beautifully delineated and nuanced. It opens nicely in the glass, showing lovely mid-palate intensity and the balance to be quite versatile. It’s a fine effort from Bedrock." -Vinous
