The 2013 Bedrock Nervo is dark and mysterious with plums, smoke, tobacco, herbs, chocolate. You could easily mistake this for an aged Bordeaux. Silky smooth tannins makes this accessible now, but it should continue to get better.

Nondescript nose and palate, minimal upfront fruit, slight tannic bitterness, beef stock, iron on the finish. First Nervo for me, and I find the challenge with wading into field blends is you don't know if you're going to get a fruit-forward zin, an earthy [petite] syrah, or something between. This is firmly in the earth camp.

PNP from storage. A bit cool at first. After a 15 minute funk off, ripe plum, dark berries, finished with raw beef juice with no perceptible tannin's or heat. The beef juice dried up, more weight to the ripe plum with a faint saber-light focused blueberry streak, and an angel dusting of extra dark dry chocolate. Yummy as my infantile self would say. This is the preferred sitting for my bones.
Day 2 the plum is gone and the chocolate dust angel has turned in to a red fruit demon with more apparent heat on the palate. If sharper tart red is to your liking then day two would be preferred.

The 2013 Bedrock Nervo is very Bordeaux-like in nature being much leaner and greener than most Bedrock cuvées. Nose of plum, earth, spice.
