Founded by Morgan Twain-Peterson, son of Ravenswood founder Joel Peterson, and now guided with longtime partner Chris Cottrell, Bedrock is built around a simple but deeply meaningful mission: preserve and rehabilitate historic vineyards throughout Northern California. Many of these sites are home to ancient, mixed plantings of Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Grenache, Alicante Bouschet, and other varieties, often planted more than a century ago and farmed by families who helped shape California’s wine culture. Rather than treating these vineyards as relics, Bedrock sees them as living pieces of history, capable of producing wines of real freshness, complexity, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from vines averaging 60 years old, the 2025 “Ode to Lulu” Rosé is a blend of 79% Mourvèdre, 18% Carignan, and 3% Grenache. “Ode to Lulu” is Bedrock’s homage to the rosés of Bandol, in the southern French region of Provence, and particularly to Lulu Peynaud of the great Bandol estate Domaine Tempier. Bedrock’s intention with “Ode to Lulu” is to make a refreshing, versatile wine that still offers generous fruit character. The Mourvèdre is sourced from the sandy soils and own-rooted vines of Oakley, with a bit of fruit from vines planted in the 1920s at Pagani Ranch. The Grenache comes from vines planted in the 1880s at Gibson Ranch, in Mendocino’s McDowell Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a gorgeous rosé, showing both tart and ripe fruit flavors, from ruby red grapefruit and blood orange to watermelon and peach, with light floral notes of rose and peony. The palate has youthful energy, vibrant with notes of white tea and salinity. “Ode to Lulu” is intense and layered, yet refreshing with every sip. It’s a great wine for soft cheeses and cured meats, though perhaps an even better match for grilled tuna, ratatouille, or a Caesar salad with plenty of garlic and anchovies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bedrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648753885237,"sku":"bedrockroseodetolulu25","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1835\/0685\/files\/IMG_2201.heic?v=1781985090","url":"https:\/\/permanwine.com\/products\/bedrock-ode-to-lulu-old-vine-rose-22-copy","provider":"Perman Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
