Bevan Cellars
EE Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Nothing short of amazing. The nose gives this scent of alcohol, savory notes of stuffed bell peppers and crockpot roast, odd but true...I also get a hint of grilled grape jam. So light on the palate yet focused showing gobs of black juicy fruits and pencils ✏️ lead. Mid palate shows strong, more fruit than savory notes. Finish is a show stopper, loads of fruit-blackberries, smoke and goodness. Well over a minute finish.

‘12 vintage. Drinking beautifully. Prior notes of “grilled grape jam” absolutely apply. I kinda expected it to be bigger than it is, but I won’t go so far as to say it’s fading. I have, let’s say, such BIG expectations for Bevan wines that I sometimes expect it to be more flamboyant and opulent than it is or ever was.
