Dry Stack Vineyard Syrah 2007
Wow...this is definitely the year to drink your '07 Drystack Syrah! It is at the peak of its plateau - racy, velvety, gamey, and demanding. Its fruit, acid, and tannin balance was perfect - lovely grilled meat, decaying lavender and vanillin spices, with loads of baked fruit and juicy black plum. The richness and tannic qualities had finally dialed down a notch to become a serious elegant wine. Kinda wish I had another bottle of this because it was my last one, and I'm happy and sad at the same time that it is gone. Thanks Russell Bevan for another great wine.
P.S. thanks for the inspiration to finally open my last one, ha. Now you just need to buy me some more because I fell in love again! @Ron R — 7 years ago

Russell Family Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014
Still quite young, but good flavors and potential. Currently lacks complexity and is more primary in its palate presentation, but still quite tasty. A bit rough around the edges. Needs time. — 8 years ago

Herman Story
John Sebastiano Vineyard Syrah
How does one get on the Bevan mailing list? Open?
I believe it's an open mailing list as of now, but the big-100pt wines usually aren't available until you've been on the list a while. But don't let that stop you...his Ontogeny will be available to you whenever it's released and it is absolutely one of the best wines for the money in all of Napa!
Russell Vineyards
Russian River Valley Syrah 2012
Light bodied with a nose of vanilla, plums, and red fruits. This ain't your average Syrah by any means. A spicy palate with some rustic undertones. A touch sweeter than I expected but in a good way. Nice, long finish. Not a lot of fat on this one but it still makes an impression. — 8 years ago
Guy Drew Vineyards
Russell Vineyard Riesling 2008
Totally forgot about this Riesling in my cellar. Was given to me 6 years ago as a gift since I live in Colorado. What a pleasant surprise. Heavy golden tone with honeydew, honey blossom and honeycomb. Holy honey batman. It was so balanced that I didn't mind the 2% resid sug. Wish I had more in storage. Oh well. — 8 years ago

De Crescenzo / Tench Vineyard Red Blend 2010
This blend of cab franc and merlot has less forward fruit than most of Russell and Victoria's wines and more expression of terroir. Beautiful aromas fresh flowers and graphite and more subtle purple fruit on the palate and a long finish. This is age worthy. What a great producer and great people Russell and Victoria are! — 11 years ago

Harbison Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
This fruit from harbison vineyard (a hidden tiny property nestled among stars in Oakville) boasts classic Oakville notes of cherry and sugar plum with a silky velvety texture that makes this wine so approachable. Notes of mocha, toasted cedar and graceful yet long finish make this a beautiful wine in an impossible vintage. Ps Russell bevan is also the wine maker for harbison"s own estate micro production wine. 50 cases of this wine made. — 10 years ago
Jim McCusker
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. — 6 years ago
