95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Bedrock 2023 Evangelho Vineyard is a gorgeous, elegant wine from this well-known site in Contra Costa County. A blend of 90% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2023 exudes varietal character and class from start to finish. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, rose petal and pomegranate are some of the many notes that open with a bit of coaxing. Floral top notes and brisk acids bring it all to a close on the beautifully persistent finish. Superb."

Robert Parker: "Everybody should recognize the incredible speed at which Morgan Twain-Peterson has built his Bedrock Wine Co. into a world-class performer. Moreover, few people have done more to preserve and save heritage/ancient-vine vineyards than Peterson. Here is his new lineup of wines that shows his creative Midas touch for coaxing full character out of his diverse terroirs and blends. His commitment to excellence is something to admire."

The Bedrock Heritage Red from the Evanghelho Vineyard in Contra Costa County truly embodies Bedrock is all about. This wine is a "field blend" made from 22 different varietals from vines that were planted 123 years ago. Winemaker Morgan Peterson has gone through and identified every vine on the property by hand. The main component is Zinfandel, with the remaining 40% of the wine a blend of what has been planted in the vineyard for the past century. Peppery fruit is in the lead with this wine, followed by plums and cloves. It is a very dark and textured wine, chewy and dense. This wine has so much history in each glass. If you are a fan of the tradition and history of wine, this is something to be tried and shared with friends. 

From vines planted in 1888 in extremely sandy soils. The Bedrock 2023 Evangelho Red is 78% Zinfandel, 16% Mourvèdre, the last 6% is a blend of Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Palomino, and Clairette Blanche.
