Bedrock Wine Co. Ode to Lulu Rose 2025

Bedrock Wine Co. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards. Over time the chicken coop and its outdoor fermenters and tiny basket press gave way to production at another friend’s winery and eventually to the “elegant” tin-sided warehouse that is now called home. In addition, after six years of working alone, the winery welcomed Chris Cottrell as a partner-in-crime along with a modest, dedicated staff of highly decent human beings.

The winery is first and foremost a mission-driven operation dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating old vineyards around California. These vineyards, planted by California’s viticultural pioneers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are living pieces of history. Not only is Bedrock able to draw inspiration from those very pioneers, but they get to actually use the materials they planted, which have survived two world wars, Prohibition, and a constantly changing marketplace.

79% Mourvedre, 18% Carignan, 3% Grenache.  Sourced almost entirely from 100+ year-old dry farmed Mourvedre planted in sandy soils in Contra Costa County - Del Barba, Pato, and Evangelho vineyards. A small portion of younger-vine material came from the Bedrock vineyard.
