2023 Evangelho Vineyard
Zinfandel

Planted in the 1890s in the deep sandy soils of the Contra Costa delta, where the Sacramento and San Joauquin rivers meet, these head-trained dry-farmed vines remain steadfast on their original roots. Our block of this distinctive vineyard includes 120 year old vines of Zinfandel, Carignane, Mourvèdre and Palomino. The wines are unlike any other; lithe and lifted, with thoroughly elevated acidity.

From some of the oldest, still ungrafted vines remaining in Northern California, planted in deep sandy soils. A stunner in ’23, with ripe, sweet blackberries, cool blueberries, plump plum alongside deeply rich roasted meats. Bold without being weighed down, the texture is beautifully silken, with a long, mouthwatering finish.
