2016 Bedrock Wine Co. Heritage Wine Evangelho Vineyard
Community Tasting Note

94 Points
Monday, March 12, 2018 - The nose was intense with confectioners brown spices up front, giving way to sweet herbs and tobacco, when suddenly the ripeness faded to reveal violet floral tones, crushed stone and blueberry skins. On the palate, I found soft, caressing textures with a wave of black fruit and sweet florals that filled the senses yet maintained wonderful balance through brisk acidity. The finish was long with blue and purple toned fruit, violet candies and a dusty coating of sweet tannin. Wow!
