✨ Technical Specifications
The Whole Shebang is Bedrock Wine Co.'s homage to the historic field blends of California, crafted as an incredibly accessible, multi-vintage cuvée. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW created this project to offer a delicious, soulful red that punches far above its weight class by utilizing fruit from ancient, head-trained vines—some over a century old—that do not make it into the winery's flagship single-vineyard bottlings. The Fifteenth Cuvée is a masterfully assembled blend dominated by Zinfandel, supported by Carignan, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and other heritage varieties. By blending across multiple vintages and aging the wine in neutral French oak, Bedrock achieves a perfect balance of youthful, juicy fruit and savory, structured complexity, keeping the legendary spirit of California's field blends alive in an everyday glass.
