Tasting notes
Coming from own-rooted vines planted in the 1890s in sandy soils, the 2019 Evangelho Vineyard Heritage has a beautiful, sappy, medium-bodied style to go with lots of darker red berry and almost blue styled fruits, grippy yet ripe tannins, good purity, and a clean, elegant mouthfeel. It benefits from air, and while I don't know the blend, it reminds me of a top-quality Carignan from the Languedoc. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years, if not a good decade.

The 2019 Evangelho Heritage Wine is a total knock-out. The later than normal harvest yielded a wine with a bit more mid-palate juiciness than is typically the case. Dark red/purplish fruit, along with hints of cinnamon and new leather, develop with time in the glass. The Evangelho is a blend of the Zinfandel, Mataro and Carignan-based field blends, with the Mataro quite prominent today, and the Carignane less so. In a word: superb.
