And now itâs on sale even, at the winery - June Spotlight. Had to grab a couple moreâŚ
Opened a bottle tonight, and itâs pure terroir. First sip is clearly Evangelho.
More tomorrow. I want to let this evolve a little.

2018 Ridge Evangelho - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Contra Costa County (6/25/2021)
Yes, this is clearly a Ridge wine. That said, after a brief interlude it becomes all Evangelho. The sappy, soul of the deep fruit that always characterizes the vineyard shines through and stakes its place. I have said it in the past, but it bears repeating, Evangelho has a life force. Grape blend doesnât matter. Producer doesnât matter. Terroir wins out unless Wile E. Coyote drops an ACME anvil on the fruit.
