Bedrock Wine Co
Morgan Twain-Peterson MW and Chris Cottrell, heritage vineyards, Sonoma to Amador
Bedrock Wine Co is a wine producer in Sonoma, California, United States. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Bedrock Wine Co wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Bedrock Wine Co. was founded in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson and Chris Cottrell. Morgan, son of Ravenswood founder Joel Peterson, grew up on the family's Sonoma Mountain estate and made his first wine at age five. He earned his Master of Wine in 2017, one of the youngest in the program's history.
The eponymous Bedrock Vineyard sits in Sonoma Valley. First planted in 1854 by William Sherman and Joseph Hooker, replanted by Senator George Hearst in 1888 after phylloxera, the site holds field-blend vines now well over a century old. Morgan acquired it in 2005.
Farming
Bedrock is Certified Organic and Regenerative Organic Certified. The estate vineyard and heritage sites across Sonoma, Contra Costa, and Amador counties hold old-vine field blends planted by California's nineteenth-century immigrant farmers, Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and other Mediterranean varieties co-planted in the same rows, the way the state was farmed before single-varietal blocks took over.
The farming is no-till, with twenty-plus cover crop species and season-adapted grazing. Many of these sites carry no appellation protection. Their preservation is the project's central commitment.
