Bevan Cellars
About Bevan Cellars
Founded in 2005 by Russell Bevan and his long-term companion and business partner Victoria De Crescenzo, the success of Bevan Cellars is all the more remarkable for the fact that Russell is a self-taught winemaker.
They use a wealth of amazing vineyards that are mostly in eastern Oakville, arguably one of the valley’s sweetest spots for the region's most sought-after reds. A blend of most of their vineyard sites, but mostly from some of the rockiest blocks in the Tench Vineyard (which borders Screaming Eagle) and also Sugarloaf and Wildfoote.
An estate that has received seven 100 point scores from the Wine Advocate and four 100 point scores from Jeb Dunnuck, Oakville's Bevan Cellars has risen into the highest echelons of Napa Valley at an astonishing rate. Their wines have now become fiercely in demand as USA wine lovers clamber to secure an allocation of their stunning Bordeaux blends.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Wildfoote Vixen Block is super-refined, silky and expressive. Inky blue and purplish fruit, lavender, spice, licorice and mint are all woven together in this attractive, mid-weight wine. The 2015 is floral and lifted, with tons of Stags Leap character. I never thought I would use the word 'restrained' to describe a Russell Bevan wine, that is exactly what this is.Inc. VAT£3,536.98 -

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block is another super-distinctive wine in this lineup. Inky blue and purplish fruit, chocolate, espresso, mint and lavender are all generous in this jammy, super-concentrated Cabernet. Russell Bevan's style and this Stags Leap vineyard marry beautifully to produce an unabashedly opulent Cabernet that will drink well right out of the gate.Inc. VAT£3,314.98 -

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block is one of the most complex wines in the entire range. Red fruit, iron, mint, rose petal, spice and blood orange give the 2018 a real feeling of exotic beauty. Each taste reveals a new facet. Time in the glass brings out the wine's striking aromatic presence and overall intensity.Inc. VAT£1,691.09
