Bedrock - Rose Ode To Lulu Sonoma Valley 2024

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The 2024 Ode to Lulu Rose is composed of 76% Mourvedre, 16% Syrah, and 8% Grenache, sourced predominantly from centenarian vineyards in Contra Costa and Sonoma County. Picked at lower potential alcohol and whole-cluster pressed, the goal here is to highlight the beautiful aromatics and freshness while also feeling the natural weight of old vine Mourvedre. What we have always loved best about the great Mourvedre-based rose of the world (Bandol being the most famous) is how they capture the piquant pink grapefruit and stone fruit fragrance of the variety while also letting the savory tarragon and wild herb pungency shine through. If the red wines from the variety tend towards earthiness and a terrestrial (sometimes downright funky) character, the best rose have lip-smacking deliciousness and are almost terrifyingly easy to drink while being capable of developing complexity in the glass. We are very pleased with the 2024 and feel it to be a worthy iteration of what is one of the most acclaimed rose made in the Golden State.

"The 2024 Ode to Lulu is as fresh and attractive as ever, if a little richer, more caressing and less steely than in recent years. A rush of sweet, ripe peach and almond opens, building accents of mint, grapefruit zest and rosemary as it wraps the mouth in a blanket of gentle acidity and fine minerality. Consistency and value are undeniable here, especially considering the 120+-year-old heritage vines Bedrock pulls this fruit from. Best of all, Lulu ages gracefully in every vintage. I see no reason why that won't be the case in 2024, especially with a little extra meat on the bones."-Antonio Galloni
