Introduction:
A bold and exuberant non‑vintage red blend from Bedrock Wine Company, this cuvée celebrates fruit, spice, and structure in a seamless, drink‑now style. It’s crafted to deliver layered complexity without waiting.
Terrior:
Sourced from a mosaic of ancient‑vine plots across California—likely including Sonoma, Sonoma Valley, Paso Robles, and Mendocino—the blend draws character from sandy loam, volcanic, and marine‑influenced soils. This diversity provides depth, brightness, and a sense of place.
Appearance:
Deep garnet with violet highlights, rich and opaque in the glass.
Nose:
Aromatically generous, featuring dark plum, black cherry, and cassis layered with baking spices like clove and cinnamon. Notes of smoked meat, dried herbs, and a hint of graphite add complexity.
Palate:
Full‑bodied and lush, the blend delivers concentrated dark fruits—think ripe blackberries and dark cherries—supported by refined tannins. A core of mocha, espresso, and cracked pepper adds savory depth, while a hint of eucalyptus and a mineral spine keep the palate focused.
Finish:
Long and satisfying, with lingering dark fruit, subtle spice, and a touch of forest floor. Tannins persist gently, carrying the flavors through a smooth exit.
Overall Impression:
This NV “Whole Shebang!” is a masterful blend—opulent yet composed, rich yet balanced. It showcases California’s varietal strength and winemaking breadth in a glass that’s ready now but structured enough to age short‑term. Enjoy with grilled steaks, robust stews, or hearty fare alongside aged cheeses.
