Bedrock Wine Co. was founded by Morgan Twain-Peterson in 2007 and focuses on small production wines from many of California’ s most treasured and historic vineyards. The lineup of wines at Bedrock is expanding rapidly, but I think the best of the best are the ancient vineyard Zinfandels, Morgan is clearly passionate about.
Evangelho Vineyard is in Contra Costa County, south of the San Joaquin-Sacramento Delta and east of Mount Diablo. The vineyard is planted with a number of different varieties and dates back to the early 1900’s.
Purple in color. 14.5% ABV. Big nose of black fruits, citrus and baking spices. Full bodied with medium acidity. Fruit forward and jammy. Black cherry, raspberry, mulberry and pepper on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Not the most complex Bedrock but throughly enjoyable. Best over the next 2-4 years.
My rating: 91 points.
The mailing list at Bedrock is highly recommended. Exceptional wines, fair prices and great customer service. Put your name on the waiting list.
