Evangelho Heritage Bedrock Wine Co

Morgan and Chris call this their “unicorn vineyard”. Planted in 1890 on its own roots, the vines are planted on the deep sand banks of the Sacremento River Delta in Contra Costa County. The field-blended blocks are co-fermented and likely to contain 60 percent Zinfandel (with 35 percent Mataro, some Carignan, Palomino and some “odds and ends”). Classic Zinfandel aromas of dried red berry fruits and black tea are supported by liquorice spice and almost garrigue-like herbs. There is lively acidity, and a density and concentration that can only be attributed to the old vines from which the grapes are sourced.
