Evangelho

2011 Contra Costa County Mourvedre

Artezin Evangelho, a captivating Mourvèdre from the 2011 vintage, showcases the unique terroir of Contra Costa County. This red wine delights with its medium body that provides a pleasing mouthfeel, while the acidity offers a refreshing brightness, enhancing its overall balance. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle hints of baking spices. The tannins are medium in structure, delivering a gentle grip that supports the wine's vibrant fruit profile without overpowering it. This dry wine presents a fantastic expression of its varietal, making it both approachable and complex, perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
