2019 Bedrock Wine Co. Heritage Wine Evangelho Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Contra Costa County (7/13/2022)
The first thing I always note with a bottle of wine sourced from the Evangelho Vineyard is a sappy core. It drips the essence of the vines. This 2019 Bedrock Evangelho is a brighter, racier version that still has that sappy core, but the acidity cleans up every single drop. The core aromas and flavors are typical for the site, ranging from deep boysenberry to flashy cherry compote with lemon zest and rosemary. The difference from typical is that little jolt of electricity. It’s exciting even if it’s different.
