Yeah, I bought 2 Joel Gott wines today. I guess I'm reliving some of the wines I liked when I first got into wine.
This is just fine! Inexpensive and chuggable, if I'm not careful. Citrus, green apple, pineapple, melon.. you're supposed to say "grass and gooseberry" when you drink SB, but I've never tasted a gooseberry. Not very grassy, either. Doing this with Thai spring rolls, and it's great.

Graphite, black peppercorn, and deep dark fruit note on the nose. After opening, a definite barnyard note with fruit undertones. A very different type of syrah, unadulterated and no tricks in the making of it. Quite nice! — 7 years ago

Not what I ordered (the server messed up), but it was perfect with the cassoulet. I’d happily order it again. — 7 months ago
Raspberry, sweet plum, mild tannins, low acidity and spice. The softer side of Zinfandel, in part due to 40% new oak. Should age well. — 9 months ago
A 25 year old gem pulled by Joel Peterson himself. I was one of the lucky ones to snag a mixed case of his cellar selections from 1991-2013 for BD16. Still going strong with such incredibile fruit. Gonna share them of course but sneak a Coravin taste here and there … — a year ago

Medium purple with slight garnet undertones and a thin brim. Initially, it’s all fruit on the nose. Blackberry molasses and dried figs greet you then the oak and spice come to say hello. A bit of vibrancy on the mouthfeel with that oak fully integrating and the fruit just beginning to flourish. Smooth and silky with no time for funk, this is quite the polished Pinot. Silky on the mid palate with an ever expanding richness. Plenty of plums on the palate along with crème de cassis, smoke, and cherries. Longish finish with more spice and smoke that honestly does leave you wanting more. — 6 years ago
Unoaked. Crisper, a bit fruity. Nice sipping wine. — 7 years ago
Excellent texture, seemed a bit more oxidized than I would have thought given the age - not flawed in any way, just unexpected. — 5 months ago

Blackberry Gusher up front, with an arid wavy breeze to hang on as you wind sail off into the sunset. — 6 years ago
I wish more Zinfandel could be made like this. While this is just a baby, it’s already delivering so much pleasure. Very primary with bright red fruits and spices. Good acid. Long finish. A few years in the cellar will do these wonders and there’s no reason to doubt the Bedrock bottle will have the ability to age gracefully for well over a decade. Such an exciting project from Joel Patterson and looking forward to trying more!! — 7 years ago
