✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Bevan Cellars Proprietary Red is a masterclass in modern Napa Valley opulence, showcasing winemaker Russell Bevan's signature style of lavish fruit concentration, velvety texture, and seamless structure. Typically crafted from prime vineyard sites such as the rocky, volcanic slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain in southern Napa Valley, this proprietary blend highlights the spectacular synergy between Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, often rounded out with Merlot. The vineyard's unique microclimate, where cool breezes from San Pablo Bay collide with intense afternoon sun, allows the grapes to achieve peak physiological ripeness while retaining essential acidity. In the cellar, Bevan employs meticulous berry sorting, cold soaks, and aging in new French oak barrels to craft a wine of immense power, purity, and complexity. It stands as a benchmark for contemporary California red blends, celebrated for its expressive aromatics of blue and black fruits, exotic spices, and plush, cashmere-like tannins.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bevan Cellars blev grundlagt i 2005 af den anerkendte, autodidakte vinmager Russell Bevan og Victoria De Crescenzo og har siden etableret sig som en af Californiens mest prestigefyldte og topanmeldte kultproducenter. Vingården har base i Napa Valley og henter sine druer fra minutiøst udvalgte parceller på legendariske terroirs i både Napa og Sonoma – herunder eftertragtede marker i Oakville, Pritchard Hill og Bennett Valley. Russell Bevans filosofi i mark og kældre bygger på kompromisløs markpleje, lave udbytter og en nænsom, minimalistisk vinificering, der fremhæver vinens renhed, overdådige fylde og dybe tekstur. Bevan Cellars nyder international anerkendelse for sine monumentale og koncentrerede Cabernet Sauvignon-vine og Bordeaux-blends som Ontogeny, foruden bemærkelsesværdige enkeltmarks-aftapninger på Pinot Noir, Syrah og Chardonnay.
