Vinous Media: 95 Points
The 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: 94 Points
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: 94 Points
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: 92 Points
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)
