2017 Precedent Evangelho Vineyard Zinfandel

Producer: Precedent 
Region: Contra Costa County, Central Coast, California
Varietal: Zinfandel  
Year: 2017 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Dark red to black with a defined red huge to the rim. Nose at once explosive and meditative. Fruit, spice, and earth notes are exotic in nature. Acid and tannin contain the fruit to dominate the wine. A throwback of sorts, yet with modern aesthetics."  

About the Producer: 

"Evangelho Vineyard is another one of the truly great old vine vineyards in California—in fact, considered by some in the business as the gold standard for this type of old vine, own-rooted, Zinfandel-based field blend. Planted in 1890 in 30 feet of pure sand, this place is a sight to behold. A good chunk of Carignan and cool breezes off the Delta give this wine a beautiful freshness to balance the dense, rich fruit. Precedent is made by Nathan Kandler, a talented winemaker whom people need to pay attention to." 

Alcohol: 14.8%
