Tired of decrepit old wines, I cracked last night:
1. BedrockWineCo Heritage EvangelhoVnyd/ContraCosta RW (14.2%; www.BedrockWineCo.com; Drk: now-2020: MTP) 2012: Very dark color; some Am.oak/toasty strong plummy/boysenberry/Mourv some spicy/mushroomy/ContraCosta quite dusty/OV lush/ripe nose; rather soft/lush strong plummy/Mourv/boysenberry/Zin bit DrPepper/blackberry cola/tangy fairly spicy bit earthy/mushroomy flavor w/ light/soft/round tannins; very long rather earthy/dusty/OV mushroomy/ContraCosta fairly plummy/Mourv/boysenberry slight tangy/grapefruity some DrPepper/black cherry cola light toasty/oak finish w/ light/plush tannins; reminds me a bit of the old Ridge Mataros w/o the oak but a bit more structured & high-toned; quite a lovely lush red that speaks mostly of Mourv w/ not so mich high-toned Zin notes. $30.00
