Devil's Gulch Vineyard Pinot Noir

Lots of plum and boysenberry on the nose. The same tastes come thru on the palate with some subtle baking spices. A long elegant finish. — 9 years ago

Cruse Wine Co.

Evangelho Vineyard Carignan 2017

Michael Cruse’s wines deserve more recognition than they receive. His single vineyard bottlings are spectacular. His style is lean, fruity, and a dedicated employment of whole cluster press.

This Evangelho Carignan has a deep purple color in a medium, full body. There is bright blackberry, oak, and sandalwood. Intensely concentrated, on the serious structured side of the spectrum for the Cruse portfolio.

Les Enfants Terribles Evangelho Vineyard Old Vines Carignane 2016

[Tasted on December 21, 2018 at Home]

Interesting Carignane from vines planted in the 1890s. Rustic wine brimming with wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Violet notes with spice and lively acidity on the finish.

Precedent

Evangelho Vineyard Zinfandel 2015

Very enjoyable. Almost to the tee what I would expect for an elegant Zin. Macerated fruit, warm spice, solid tannic structure. Love those old vines. Not overly jammy either. Would love to try an older vintage just to see how it would mature. Had it with plain old cheese, wafer crisps and grapes. Lovely — 7 years ago
