(174 views) | | | Tasted by Ravi Deshpande on 3/26/2022 & rated 94 points: A beauty. Lots of fruit, very fine tannins, clearly Bevan but oh so refined. Will it get better? Who knows, but you won’t be disappointed with where it’s at (181 views) | | | Tasted by FlyPig on 12/9/2018 & rated 99 points: Spectacular. Know Russell’s wines drink beautifully young, but they age even better. Magnificently made cab in a perfect drinking spot. (824 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 11/20/2018 flawed bottle: Brett.

Chris brought this.
This was blue fruit city all night long. Baked blueberry pie, creamy chocolate covered plums and leather.
So royal and so incredibly well made. Screamed cult Napa fruit.
The palate was endless. Sporting more blue fruit, baked goods, purple flowers and more gorgeous ripe fruit.
This is still such a baby - can barely sense any age at this point in its life.
Absolutely loving Bevan wines across the board from the first sip to the last. Long long finish.
Great tannin structure that has yet to completely come into its own along with integrated alcohol and lovely structure. A textured wine that doesn't quit. Finish goes on and on. Cannot recommend enough. Worth the coin. (2108 views) | | | Tasted by Life At Your Leisure 🍷 on 7/16/2013 & rated 95 points: Dark purple color with a deep, focused nose of exotic berries and herbs. The palate displays deep, full-bodied, concentrated flavors of blueberry, black currant, and plum layered with hints of chocolate, dried sage, and smoke. Finishes really long and spicy with tannin that's wrapped with ripe fruit, giving it a velvet-coated texture. This wine has superb balance and vibrant acidity, with a structure that makes it good to drink now (with a 30-minute decant) until 2022.

Big and soft, on the sweet side. Good dose of tannins. (3166 views) |
| Bevan Cellars Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Oakville |
