Sherman & Hooker's Shebang Old Vine Cuvee is a masterful multi-vintage red blend crafted by Bedrock Wine Co. to pay homage to California's rich viticultural history. The wine's name nods to historical figures General William Tecumseh Sherman and General Joseph Hooker, who briefly shared a cabin in Sonoma during the mid-19th century on what is now the Bedrock Vineyard property. Unlike typical entry-level reds, Shebang is sourced from exceptionally old vines—some over a century old—including Zinfandel, Carignan, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW blends multiple vintages to achieve a consistent, vibrant, and complex profile. Fermented with native yeasts and aged primarily in neutral French oak, this cuvée offers a juicy, spice-laden, and authentic taste of California's historic field blends.
