At $23 per, there is no better domestic or international SB on the market…

On the bubble and could be 94. — 6 months ago

Nose has ash covered blackcurrants, crushed black cherries, oak firewood stack, blackberry cordial and dried sage.

Palate has clay covered blackberry, dried black cherry, dried blackcurrants, anise, fine tannins with slight saline notes to the medium finish.

A very nice effort, double decanted then 24H rest, based on others notes this wine needed a wide berth and I'm very pleased with the outcome.

We love Aesthete, and we love this rosé, too. But at $40 per? — 6 years ago

Not bad. Didn’t stack up to the Pierre Morey Bourgogne — 7 years ago

You haven’t had anything quite like this. Chocolate, burnt soil, sweet ripen blueberries and blackberries. I think I need a stack of flapjacks to pour it over. — 9 years ago

2024 vintage. Lighter but with concentration for days. A different style with a suggestion of limoncello. Generally dislike Sauvie B but this came to play and was the standout of this year’s Bevan Cellars releases I tasted (3 whites/7 reds). 08.22.25 — 10 months ago

Dark cherry and spice nose. More dark cherry on the palate with cola, plum, cooked strawberry, cinnamon, clove, oak, with a hint of cocoa. Medium plus alcohol, medium minus tannins, and high alcohol. — 4 years ago

Not as approachable upon release as the 2016. That extra six months in the cellar has made a world of difference. Exceptional stuff! They seem to just get it. Balance between more old world “17”& new world. Highly recommend.  — 6 years ago

"Odedi"

9.1

A very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.

Bone dry on the palate, and full bodied with medium acidity.

Needs time to open up properly.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Wine Advocate 92 points.

Spicy and tangy finish with firm tannins.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Bought on @Bill Bender ‘s recommendation and he didn’t lead me astray. Huge nose of peach and apples with more of the same on the palate. This is a SB that smacks you across the face and draws out a long finish. Sad I’ve only got two more in the cellar, but no regrets on signing up for recurring shipments. Bests Bevan’s Dry Stack hands-down. — 7 years ago

The level of honeysuckle, pineapple, and lemon oil blew me away. Crisp and clean. It was sitting next to a well crafted bottle from the Dry Stack Vineyard which couldn't compare. — 9 years ago

9.1

Pineapple, beeswax, pear and wet stone. Rich full bodied Chenin with beautiful acidity. When it’s first opened it had a nice funk of mushroom / wet forest with a clean mineral undertone. Balanced. I want a case stack for the summer. — a year ago

Like a stack of poker chips, layers stand symmetrical and equally distant of fruit, spice,, salinity, minerality, and soil, gorgeous blend that shows terroir through the cepage! — a year ago

Pale ruby color. Aromas of bing cherry, cranberry and ocean breeze. Good cherry flavors, not a bad Pinot for the price. — 6 years ago

9.5

This is fucking right now. Gorgeous, enough hedonistic quality but retains balance and complexity. Smoked BBQ ribs, roasted coffee, mesquite charcoal, bacon fat, talcum, leather, vanilla, mulberry compote with a hint of overripe blue fruit. It has sinew and grit, but there’s appropriate richness on the palate to balance its structure. Tannins are a touch drying, but I love the character that brings to it. Young but to good now, properly stored I could see this hitting 20 years no problem. Perfect with a bacon cheeseburger w/ grilled onion. Curious how ‘15 and ‘16 vintages will stack up. — 7 years ago

Probably opened this too soon, which is so unlike me😬
Curious how this will stack up against the Carter Hossfeld which is almost the same blend of Merlot & Cabernet.
Find out in a couple weeks when Carter ships
Same price & almost exactly same ratings from WA,
95 for this & 94+ for Hossfeld — 8 years ago
