Bevan Cellars
Tin Box Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
12’ Bevan Tin Box. This was the bottle that re-introduced me a few years back to Bevan. Ever since then I’ve stockpiled quite a bit of Russell’s Bordeaux blends in my cellar. Hasn’t changed at all in the last two years. It’s got another 10 years+ in it. Great juice!

Finally have a bit of time to update my tasting notes from my visit to Napa the past few days. Did a bit of work for Montagu Wines, and enjoyed a ridiculous amount of wine, and good wine at that.
Russell Bevan is making wine at Brasswood, where we are for Montagu, so it was great meeting the larger than life man that he is. He was kind enough to share a glass of his Tin Box cab with us while we were all together and this wine represents him perfectly. This is a bold, in your face cab, that blows big fruit on the nose, and gripping tannins that want to beat you like a pulp, then let go just as soft as they were strong. Big boy cab, ladies and gentlemen.

The nose smacks you in the face with notes of gravel, graphite and dark fruits. Wonderfully balanced wine with well-integrates tannins. This is drinking beautifully now, but easily has another 10 years in it. Recommend holding on these.
