Bevan Cellars
About Bevan Cellars
Founded in 2005 by Russell Bevan and his long-term companion and business partner Victoria De Crescenzo, the success of Bevan Cellars is all the more remarkable for the fact that Russell is a self-taught winemaker.
They use a wealth of amazing vineyards that are mostly in eastern Oakville, arguably one of the valley’s sweetest spots for the region's most sought-after reds. A blend of most of their vineyard sites, but mostly from some of the rockiest blocks in the Tench Vineyard (which borders Screaming Eagle) and also Sugarloaf and Wildfoote.
An estate that has received seven 100 point scores from the Wine Advocate and four 100 point scores from Jeb Dunnuck, Oakville's Bevan Cellars has risen into the highest echelons of Napa Valley at an astonishing rate. Their wines have now become fiercely in demand as USA wine lovers clamber to secure an allocation of their stunning Bordeaux blends.

Jeb Dunnuck (99)While this cuvée is one of the least expensive in the lineup, it’s often one of my favorites. The 2018 Ontogeny is no exception and should be snatched up by readers. A classic 2018 nose of ripe, pure blue fruits, cassis, violets, and smoked earth gives way to a full-bodied, dense, concentrated Cabernet with beautiful tannins and length. It’s going to evolve for 20 years or more. |

Vinous (92)The 2014 Red Wine EE Tench Vineyard is surprisingly seamless and open-knit for such a young wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice, mocha and chocolate fill out the wine's supple, inviting frame effortlessly. Best of all, the 2014 will drink well with minimal cellaring. |

Vinous (95)The 2015 Red Wine EE Tench Vineyard is rich, explosive and powerful in the glass. Cabernet Franc aromatics give the wine an attractive upper register to play off the dark, unctuous fruit. Dark cherry, blackberry, chocolate and espresso all rush forward. The EE has terrific tension for such a big, plush wine. Lifted Franc notes reappear on the super-expressive finish. |

Vinous (96)The 2016 Red Wine EE Tench Vineyard is a very beautiful wine that shows yet another facet of this superb Oakville site. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha and new leather run through a pliant, expressive red that will drink well earlier than some of the more imposing wines in this range. The high presence of Cabernet Franc works wonders. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. |

Sage, crème de cassis, menthol, lavender, mint and dark fruit are all nicely layered. Gracious and light on its feet (that is not a typo), with gorgeous perfume from the Franc, the Proprietary Red is distinctive and incredibly inviting. |

Jeb Dunnuck (97-100)Checking in as a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2019 Proprietary Red Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard is one of the top wines in 2019 (at least at this stage).

The purity is just about off the charts. |

Jeb Dunnuck (96-98)Iron, crushed rocks, spice, and scorched earth notes all dominate the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard, a rich, powerful yet balanced wine. Showing the purity of fruit that's classic in the vintage, ripe tannins, terrific balance, and a big finish, it's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age. |

Wine Advocate (97-99+)A barrel sample, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard is deep garnet-purple colored and skips out of the glass with bright, cheery blackberries, crushed blackcurrants and plum preserves scents with hints of menthol, bay leaves and candied violets.

Vinous (94)The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Wildfoote Vixen Block is super-refined, silky and expressive. Inky blue and purplish fruit, lavender, spice, licorice and mint are all woven together in this attractive, mid-weight wine. The 2015 is floral and lifted, with tons of Stags Leap character. I never thought I would use the word 'restrained' to describe a Russell Bevan wine, that is exactly what this is. |
