Bedrock Wine Co. Evangelho Vineyard Heritage Zinfandel Blend 2014
Hot new boutique producer from Sonoma label. A rising start to watch! The Heritage Red from the Evanghelho Vineyard in Contra Costa County truly embodies Bedrock is all about. This wine is a "field blend" made from 22 different varietals from vines that were planted 123 years ago. Morgan has gone through and identified every vine on the property by hand. The main component is Zinfandel, with the remaining 40% of the wine a blend of what has been planted in the vineyard for the past century. Peppery fruit is in the lead with this wine, followed by plums and cloves. It is a very dark and textured wine, chewy and dense. This wine has so much history in each glass. If you are a fan of the tradition and history of wine, this is something to be tried and shared with friends.

Dark color from rim to core. The slow movement with a swirl indicates the viscosity. Stewed blackberry aromas with an initial dusty earth flavor slowly uncovers more dark stone fruit complexity. Happy Easter!

First time with this - surprisingly restrained while still showing glorious Cali fruit. Complexity where you wouldn't expect it. Plays acoustic counterpoint to rich, meaty dishes rather than being the amp cranked to 11.

Stupid young but after 24hrs it really shows something incredible. MTP has such a deft hand with old vines and this vineyard at 120 yrs old and grown in 30f sand shows something special. Will evolve so much over the next decade.

Old vine, great body but not overblown where it could be- someone made solid choices- thumbs way up. Wild berries and coffee.

2014: Pucker up, buttercup! Way too early to pronounce anything, it's practically still a barrel sample. Intense youthful fruit, immediately supported by tannins too young to be mellow. Brimming with subtle spices which raised the quandary of what the field blend ratio may be for this year? Will check in again next year.

When first opened this wine reminds me of my first intro to Zin, young, bright and racey. Great tart fruit with complex nose of pepper, bramble and tar. Can't wait to taste the next bottle.
