✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, iron-rich volcanic slopes of the renowned Showket Vineyard in the Oakville AVA, this cuv e is a masterclass in Napa Valley power and refinement. Crafted by winemaker Russell Bevan as a heartfelt tribute to his father, John, the wine showcases the spectacular terroir of Oakville's eastern hillsides, situated near legendary neighbors like Dalla Valle. The vineyard's unique red soils and optimal sun exposure yield fruit of extraordinary concentration. In the cellar, Bevan's signature style of lush, opulent textures and intense fruit purity brings out the very best of this site, resulting in a seamless, full-bodied red blend with remarkable depth, velvety tannins, and a lingering, expressive finish.
