The Bedfellow 2022 is a passionate wine born from the unique terroir of the Thibido Vineyard in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles AVA. Historically, The Bedfellow has been a Syrah, but the 2022 vintage throws tradition aside, blending 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre—all sourced from their CCOF Certified Organic Vineyard. The west-facing, steep slopes of Thibido Vineyard feature Linne, Calodo, and Lockwood soils, which impart a distinctive sense of place to the wine. Afternoon coastal breezes and cool nights help balance intense berry flavor with elegant nuances of earth and flint.

Every step of their winemaking process—from the hand harvesting of perfectly ripened clusters to the gentle press and precise aging—reflects their commitment to crafting wines that express the unique story of their land. Native fermentation unfolded at a cool, unhurried pace, embracing the skins to extract more color and flavor. Old-fashioned foot treading was applied to further draw out nuanced tannins. Following a gentle basket press, the juice was settled before being transferred to French oak barriques. The wine was aged for eighteen months—nine in new French oak and nine in neutral oak. These three estate grapes showcase a harmonious wine of hearty Syrah enhanced by juicy, vibrant Grenache and a splash of rustic Mourvèdre. The result is a complex wine with a dynamic range of flavors and textures. These limited 50 cases reflect the best of their organic vineyard and their signature style of winemaking.
