Bedrock Description
"Like almost everything in the fantastic 2023 vintage, the fruit for this wine was harvested nearly a month later than normal. From vines planted in the 1890s, own-rooted on banks of deep sand a mere mile from the Sacramento River delta, this vineyard has exploded from relative obscurity a decade ago and is now being appreciated for the world-class site it is. The extended hangtime, combined with the natural intensity of the wind-blown, sand dune terroir has made for a dense, vibrant, and classic Evangelho Heritage Wine. Composed of separate, field-blended sections from this iconic vineyard, the final wine is about 78% Zinfandel and 16% Mourvèdre with the balance being Carignan and small amounts of Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Palomino, and even the fruits of a single, huge Clairette Blanche vine. This is as deeply colored an Evangelho as I can remember making, and this, combined with the natural freshness and perfume from a long growing season, shows off the exuberant black raspberry, curry spice, and salted plum so typical of the site. A truly great Evangelho."

“The 2023 Evangelho Heritage is fabulous. Intensely floral and lifted, the 2023 is so finessed. Bright red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and lavender all grace the palate. Its another wine in this vintage that is especially vibrant and red-toned. The late harvest, a month later than usual, brought out the best from these own-rooted vines planted in the 1890’s. This opens beautifully on the mid-palate and through to the finish.”
