The Keep Wines Evangelho Vineyard Carignane from the 2015 vintage is a striking representation of the Contra Costa County terroir. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile that is both approachable and robust, making it a delightful choice for various occasions. Its acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's freshness while making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, presenting luscious notes of ripe red berries and subtle undertones of blackcurrant that linger on the palate. Tannins are firm yet approachable, providing structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit character. As a dry wine, it brilliantly balances the richness of the varietal with its vibrant acidity, creating a well-rounded and enjoyable experience. This Carignane exemplifies the best qualities of the region, delivering a delightful wine that celebrates its heritage and winemaking tradition.

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.
