Drinking nicely right now. Smooth tannins, ripe black cherry and raspberry. Takes a good decant to really open and sing. Plenty of cedar and vanilla spice. Can't see this getting much better. Ripe in style but a short finish.

Not nearly as good as the first bottle. There was a funny medicinal taste that interfered with the great flavors and depth that one expects from a Bevan wine.

We like Bevan wines a lot and that is influencing what I write. This is the first cab. based wine from Bevan we tasted at home in a few years. It was worth the wait. Delicious, fruit filled, and balanced come to mind. Superb mouth-feel and excellent finish do too.

S&E Wine Club - Battle of the AVAs: Howell Mountain vs Stags Leap District (S&E): Ninth wine and doesn't fit into the theme but nonetheless the first from Oakville. Dark ruby red with a purplish hue. Complex nose with light white and purple floral notes which airs out and develops into vegetal notes and bell peppers. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and moderate plus body. Solid earthiness and bell peppers on the palate that added in some dark fruit qualities. Long and lingering finish pretty smooth. Drink till 2025.
