WTN: Bedrock Evangelho Heritage '13...(short/boring)

by TomHill » Tue Jan 06, 2015 11:45 am

Tried this over the Holidays:
1. BedrockWineCo EvangelhoVnydHeritage/CCCnty (14.1%; Planted in 1890's; Carignane/Zin/Mourv) 2013: Dark color; strong earthy/mushroomy/truffly/CCCnty strong plummy/Mourv classic CCRed w/ lots of earthy base notes very attractive nose; soft rather earthy/mushroomy quite dusty/OV rather plummy/Mourv slight tangy flavor w/ light/soft tannins; very long Mourv/plummy/bit chocolaty soft quite earthy/mushroomy finish w/ some soft/round tannins; speaks strongly of CCCnty and Mourv; maybe a bit lacking in structure and resembles an Italian Nero d'Avola more than anything; a biit rustic but very tasty. $31.00

Bought a few bottles of this but haven't tasted any. Paid considerably more than $31, too--in the low 40's. Anyway, not sure what I expected of that wine but arriving in your note to the nero d'avola reference couldn't have been more deflating.

I actually had a very good Nero the other night, and I am not normally a fan.

Yes! In a blind tasting, I'd never go "Oh that must be ____!" They're what you guess when you run out of other possibilities. :)
