"Sourced from a historic site planted in the 1890s, the 2022 Zinfandel Evangelho Vineyard is ethereal and captivating. Medium to deep ruby in the glass, it opens with aromas of muddled berries, crushed plums, black cherries and Graham crackers that gain intensity and additional floral tones with oxygen exposure. Medium-bodied on the palate, it is lighter on its feet than expected, entering the palate with a weightless, beautifully refined intensity that exudes bright fruits and floral perfume. The finish sneaks up on you with explosively bright acidity, a dusty tannin structure and ever-increasing layers with time. It will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar and should drink confidently over the next decade or beyond."

"Deep purple. Much mellower than Del Barba Vineyard but plusher nose with lots of blackberry and boysenberry with jamminess and spice. Preserved and confit fruit. High tannin – climbs your gums a bit, with a touch of diesel on the mid palate. Eucalypt. High, rocky tannin. Fresh mouth-watering acidity. Cedar finish. (SCJ)"

"The 2021 Zinfandel Evangelho Vineyard is another new single-vineyard release from Turley. It has a deep ruby color and nuanced aromas that unfurl from spicy black cherry to savory spice and floral tones. The medium-bodied palate has ripe, dense, spicy fruit, gently chewy tannins and satisfying juiciness on the finish."
