Some winemakers manage to get Zinfandel right. Morgan Twain-Peterson, the driving force and winemaker of the Bedrock Wine Company, is one of them. Big and burly, of course—it is Zinfandel—Twain-Peterson has managed to keep it within bounds and, most importantly, fresh, with enlivening acidity. There is, dare I say, actual elegance in the finish.
