The Whole Shebang Twelfth Cuvee is Bedrock Wine Co.’s vibrant tribute to California’s rich viticultural history, crafted as a multi-vintage red blend that defies the conventional single-vintage norm. Conceived by winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW, this cuvee is a field blend in spirit, combining old-vine Zinfandel with Carignan, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and other heritage varieties sourced from historic vineyards across the state. By blending different vintages, Bedrock captures both the youthful energy of recent harvests and the depth of older, barrel-aged components. Fermented with native yeasts and aged primarily in neutral French oak, this wine offers a juicy, spice-laden profile that recalls the robust, honest table wines enjoyed by California's early pioneering winemakers.
