Tasting notes: Very, very concentrated, with a formidable core of black currant and blackberry fruit. Bone dry but with that subtle impression of sweetness that comes from ripe Cabernet. Dried mushroom tones contribute an appetizing, savory component and there’s also a trace of black licorice. The tannins are fine-grained and supple, with an impression of chewiness fleshing out the aftertaste. The vivid flavors of the finish suggest a terrific future. Open in 2013. — 11 years ago
2nd wine from Bevan. In honor of parker release of Napa '10. Dark red core with deep ruby edges. Nose is graphite, black currants, loamy earth and good spice, barely a trace of oak. The palate is full bodied with medium to mostly full bodied, but ripe tannins. Light on its feet but fully concentrated this is a beaute! #bevancellars #awesomecabernet #napa2010 — 12 years ago

Impressive merlot, great fruit followed by good structure making it a big boy Merlot not that flabby stuff all too common. — 9 years ago
Stunning. Broad, rich, toasty, complex. Carries its rocket fuel alcohol very deftly — 9 years ago

Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.
2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.
The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

Translucent burgundy color with just a tiny bit of haze on the rim and slow flowing legs. Nose of nice cranberry, herbs, a touch of soy sauce, a bit of salty mineral, baking spice, and dressed with powerful alcohol. Taste of bright and sharp acidity, with sweetness comes at the second wave, peppery and a bit zesty like grapefruit zest, cherries and cranberries, and baking spice. Aftertaste is zesty and sweet, medium finish with peppery note lingering on the base of tongue. A nice flavorful and refreshing Pinot. — 9 years ago
