Community Tasting Note

• buckeye76 Likes this wine: 98 points

  March 22, 2019 - Tasted with Bevan at Brasswood. We had many great wines at Bevan and none that were not outstanding. The EE Cuvee was again my favorite just as it was WOTN at a holiday party we attended in December. Very similar notes as that bottle. This is a delicious wine which might warrant a higher score as it ages.

  I am not a fan of bright red flavors. Instead I prefer a darker fruit aspect coupled if possible with tobacco or tar or some other dark fruit aspects. That being stated is the EE the darkest of the offerings from Bevan? Do any of the Bevan offerings fall into the category I would not like. Thanks Dave

  Granted, that is based on a relatively small sample, but based on that sample I have not had a Bevan I didn't enjoy...

  Your note really helps as this is a new producer for me. Will copy down your suggestions. Someone suggested Bevan Wildfoote. Have you ever tasted this offering? Have some 2016 bottles but buying wine from the 2018 vintage and need guidance.
  
  Have you had Carter wines? Any comments considering my taste preferences and Carter wines appreciated. Once again thanks for your comments. Dave

They make a bunch of Cabernets from various Beckstoffer vineyards. I suspect you would like their cabernets as well
