✨ Technical Specifications
While winemaker Russell Bevan is world-renowned for his monumental Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons, his approach to Pinot Noir is equally dramatic and uncompromising. Sourced from premier cool-climate sites in Sonoma County, including the legendary Ritchie Vineyard and Silver Eagle Vineyard, Bevan Cellars Pinot Noir redefines the boundaries of the varietal. By employing meticulous sorting, cold soaking, and aging in select French oak, Bevan crafts a Pinot Noir of immense concentration, opulent texture, and vibrant aromatic complexity. It is a bold, hedonistic expression of California Pinot Noir that retains its structural integrity and site-specific terroir.
