2018 Zinfandel Evangelho Vineyard
“The truly heritage vineyard plots interwoven along Contra Costa County’s northern border are hallowed ground for Zinfandel purists. None more so than the stunning 13-acre Evangelho Vineyard, nestled between Antioch and Oakley, which serves as the framework of our Zinfandel. On the palate, this wine delivers a bright, vibrant entry of currant and boysenberry, complemented by more savory notes of white pepper and dried herbs. The tannins in this wine are rich, yet supple and provide a beautiful structure as the wine finishes with delicious elements of toasty oak and vanilla.”
– Stephanie Pope, Winemaker
