Deep purple, dark and rich. I’m a fan of the blackberry and coffee notes. On the fruitier side, bright acidity and tanniny. — 7 years ago

Another gem from Russell From. First time we've had this SV effort and it, like everything from Herman Story, was an in-your-face fruit bomb. Delicious and the first bottle to empty. — 8 years ago

Unbelievable perfect 57%Cab Franc- 43% Merlot blend from Russell Bevan. A fruit forward version if a Cheval Blanc from St.Emilion! Full bodied rich stewed black and blue fruits with hints of mint and herbs, lavender and fully textured with a 1-minute long intense finish. Can’t imagine a better red wine. — 4 years ago

Inaugural vintage of a truly great wine. This wine is pre- Russell Bevan - Luc Morlet is the wine maker. The wine is so soft at this point with a finish that persists in such a harmonious fashion. Absolute treat. The fruit is dark and delicious. The alcohol is >15% but the wine is so well balanced, the alcohol does not seem out of place. Great wine. — 6 years ago

Slightly hazy (unfined?) gold. Abundant nose of honeyed tropical fruits, baked apple, and vanilla tinged orange crème. Full-bodied palate of cooked pineapple, baked apple, hint of orange, yellow lilies, and… how does one say “baseball bat” only subtly? Another quintessential Russell Bevan white that’s a monster in body, but velvet on the palate. A big wine that begs for big, complex dishes. My drinking partner (who suggested the wine was like an Adele song… you think it’s going to be a rustic stumble, but it clearly has much more going on) made an incredible pork loin, root vegetable, and apple entrée that was right where a dish should be to stand up to this wine. Similar dishes will work. Not your grandmother’s Chardonnay. Drink now through 2023. — 4 years ago

Private tasting at Nos Caves Vin with Russell & Victoria et al. Tonight’s lineup was comprised of the recently bottled 2017 reds.

Drinking tight, as most were tonight, but excited at the potential for this bad boy. Lovely aromatics and rich dark red fruits, spices, leather, and tobacco. — 6 years ago

Still needs a 45 minute decanting. Russell is making some great Bordeaux style wines. — 7 years ago

Another winner from Russell From at Herman Story. Great notes of dark chocolate, blackberry, and kirsch on the nose. Beautifully integrated palate with sweet, evolved tannins enveloped in fruit and glycerine, followed by a nice (albeit slightly hot) finish. Terrific. — 7 years ago

One of my go-to SB's for the summer. Love the big tropical fruits. Russell is a stud in pretty much everything he touches. Down to my last couple of bottles of the '13 but it is still killing it — 8 years ago
