Reviewed January 2025The 2023 Evangelho Vineyard is a gorgeous, elegant wine from this well-known site in Contra Costa County. A blend of 90% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2023 exudes varietal character and class from start to finish. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, rose petal and pomegranate are some of the many notes that open with a bit of coaxing. Floral top notes and brisk acids bring it all to a close on the beautifully persistent finish. Superb.

James Suckling
A smooth, broad and berry-soaked wine that is mouth-filling, ripe and rich yet balanced. it combines gorgeous ripe blackberries, black cherries, orange zest and hints of sage and black pepper. Full-bodied and moderately tannic for a bit of grip in the texture. A blend of mostly zinfandel, mourvedre, carignane and several others from an own-rooted vineyard now owned by Bedrock that was planted in the 1890s. Drink now. (JG)

Wine Spectator
Robust yet retains a sense of style and polish, with lilting raspberry and cherry flavors laced with sweet anise, savory pepper and dusky spices as this gathers tension toward fine-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Palomino and Clairette Blanche. Drink now through 2035. (TF)

Wine Advocate
The 2023 Evangelho Vineyard Heritage comes from vines planted in the 1890s in sandy soils, which Bedrock now owns and farms. It’s composed of about 78% Zinfandel, 16% Mourvèdre and smaller portions of Grand Noir, Alicante Bouschet and Palomino. Matured in foudres and large demi-muids, it has pure, soaring aromas of Italian plum, cracked pepper, salumi and violet. The light-bodied palate is supple, fresh and inviting with transparent flavors and a long, bright finish. (EB)
