Deep purplish red. After an hour or so in the decanter this was still tight with green notes and a little black cherries. Finally on day two there were tons of 'Bevan' fruits, black and blue with tons of cinnamon and vanilla. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. This lost a little bit of weight in the mid palate but beefed up on day two. Tons of structure and dark cherries on day one with a slightly stoney and savory finish. Day two brought in the same characteristics as the nose, tons of blue and black fruits as well as cinnamon and vanilla. A touch of heat in the long finish that should dissipate with time. Should be in a sweet spot in about 7 years or so. Drink from 2018 till 2030. (94+) — 9 years ago

Kick Ranch, Tench Vineyard, Ritchie Vineyard not sure which is my favorite. Trench more acidic and mineral driven with a great mouth feel. Glad to have each of them in different ways. — 13 years ago

My first Curmudgeon, love the name so I grabbed one on allocation, great nose. Of course I should of held it longer, but can't go wrong with Bevan no matter when you open, — 9 years ago
