2022 vintage. Medium heavy body. Beautifully made and can go now or in a decade and a half. The winery’s veritable “kitchen sink.” Like a little bit of this varietal and vineyard in every bottle. 08.22.25. — 3 months ago

I thought I had pulled a pure Cab but this went great with the steaks and was really nice. Heady on the nose. — 2 months ago

2023 vintage. Medium heavy body. Brooding and petulant while hiding behind a forced smile. This has power and plenty of alcohol but camouflaged tannins. Oodles of blue fruit with hints of milk chocolate-covered cherry, hot maple syrup, ripe plum and graphite. 08.22.25. — 3 months ago

Bevan Cellars EE Red Wine 2019
Napa Valley, California, USA 🇺🇸

Overview
A flagship cuvée from the East/East blocks of Tench Vineyard in Oakville (next to Screaming Eagle), the 2019 EE is Cabernet Sauvignon–dominant with supporting Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This bottling represents one of Bevan’s most terroir-driven wines, showcasing Oakville’s volcanic, iron-rich soils.

Aromas & Flavors
Intense and concentrated, with dark blackberry, cassis, black plum, and graphite at its core. Layers of violets, pencil shavings, and espresso build complexity, while subtle tobacco and spice notes reveal the vintage’s structure.

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied, muscular, and powerful, yet polished. The tannins are ripe and firm, giving the wine backbone, while the mid-palate is lush and layered. Long, mineral-driven finish with savory depth.

Winemaking Notes
Aged ~20 months in French oak (around 80% new), the 2019 vintage benefitted from Napa’s ideal growing season: long hang times, cooler evenings, and steady ripening — a classic recipe for age-worthy balance.

Food Pairing
Think porterhouse steak, braised short ribs, or rosemary lamb chops — bold dishes that match its power and finesse.

Verdict
The 2019 EE is a monumental wine — expressive now with air (best after decanting), but with the structure to age 15–20 years. A truly collector-worthy Napa red that balances terroir expression with Bevan’s signature opulence. — 3 months 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 — 3 months ago
