The Whole Shebang is a wine made by the small crew at Bedrock Wine Co. intended to offer authentic Californian deliciousness at a reasonable tariff. Composed of Zinfandel, Carignan, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mataro, and other Mediterranean varieties, the wine is their version of the humble, yet soul-satisfying, Côtes du Rhône.
Unlike most California wines at its price point, Shebang is entirely made in their cellars with the majority of lots fermented with indigenous yeasts, native malolactic strains, and raised in a combination of neutral oak barrels and tank (in other words, minimal winemaking chicanery). The fruit comes from old vineyards Bedrock is rehabilitating along with younger vine parcels and barrels of their Bedrock Wine Co. wines that do not fit into theirr higher-end wines. By being multi-vintage, it allows them, as a small winery, to create some consistency across cuvées and ensure they can deliver a wine that overdelivers for its price.
