Tasting notes
Steeped in sweet oak spices. Opulent black fruit on the palate, a lovely lick of hickory smoke, and something flinty and sparky too. Genuine complexity here, giving lovely depth to that raisined fruit. (RH)

A blend of 60% Zinfandel, 30% Mourvèdre and 10% Carignan from a 120-year-old vineyard, the medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Evangelho Heritage Wine is scented of baked red and black berries, tar, earth, chargrill and pepper. The palate is medium to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a refreshing frame with loads of fruit, finishing long.
Another standout, the 2016 Evangelho Heritage Wine is wonderfully fragrant and lifted. Medium in body, gracious and super-expressive, the Evangelho is pure class. All the elements simply come together in this super-expressive Zinfandel-based wine. The combination of sandy soils and unique field blend of approximately 60% Zinfandel, 35% Mataro and 5% mixed blacks results in a wine of compelling beauty and pedigree. Evangelho is now a true estate vineyard owned by Bedrock.
