TN: 2019 Bedrock Wine Co. Areio e Vento e Amor Evangelho Vineyard

  • 2019 Bedrock Wine Co. Areio e Vento e Amor Evangelho Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Contra Costa County (11/9/2021)
    Tasted over two evenings, this is the essence of Evangelho, reduced to a concentrate. Every element of the wine is more intense, from the inherently sappy fruit, to the bracing finishing acidity. That concentration makes itself even more evident on the finish, which carries on like David Crosby in his prime, pouring out his heart on Almost Cut My Hair. The sweetness and bitterness blend into harmony, and after a deafening crescendo a gentle descent into silence that echoes like a dream.

What’s the difference between this and their Evangelho field blend bottling (which is also excellent)?

It’s from a specific block of the vineyard.

Yup, supposedly Frank’s favorite, and more pure Mourvèdre (I think) than most of the other blocks Bedrock keeps for themselves

Congrats on having your tasting note posted on Instagram by Morgan

Huh. I’ll have to look.

Just looked. Oh my. blush
