Nervo Ranch Heritage Alexander Valley Red Blend

Big yet nuanced. California at its best.

Last of the two blind Zinfandel blends paired with our turkey burgers and black bean veggie burgers. Deep and dark mix of garnet and ruby red. Mute nose with notes of gunpowder, brambles, and a bit savory. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Dark and rich on the palate with lots of pepper. Some dark berries, graphite and purple floral notes. Long finish. Drink till 2020.

This is the inaugural vintage of this Heritage wine bottling from the Nervo Ranch in Alexander Valley with some vines being planted as far back as 1896. The 2013 Bedrock Wine Co. Nervo Ranch Heritage Wine is made up of an insane amount of varietals, twelve in total. Consisting of Zinfandel, Pinot St. George, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Grenache, Carignane, Trousseau Noir, Cardinal, Burger, Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Solid wine with some good layers.

Chewy tannins, nice acid on the finish - not at all subtle. Pair boldly.

A quiet nose with just a hint of VA. Dark dense palate with heavy notes of pepper.

Lots of tension & well....nerve tied together by wonderful blue and black fruits. There's a common thread it shares on the palate with the Oakville Farmhouse from Bedrock which I'm thinking is from the Negrette

Bit disappointing. Very potty and hot like the aged grenache I had earlier this week. Oh well.

Called Bdx. Balsamic and dusty.

Needed 2nd day to show it’s wonderfully dark fruit charms

Bedrock never disappoints

Too ripe. Bit hot.
