2014 | Bevan Cellars | Cabernet Sauvignon Tin Box Vineyard

A smooth, supple entry leads to an understated mix of dusty berry, cedar, gravel, currant and licorice flavors, gaining depth, nuance and tenderness as the tannins integrate.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Another 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Tin Box was 147 cases, aged in three-fourth Taransaud and one-fourth Darnajou barrels. It is a deep, powerful, almost primordial wine, very much in the Bevan style, but with sweet, velevty tannin, gorgeous blue and blackberry fruit, a touch of creosote and camphor. An almost Graves-like scorched-earth is present in this deep, full-throttle, amazingly savory and concentrated , balls-to-the wall Cabernet.

• Vinous: Bevan's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Tin Box is one of the most aromatically intense, lifted wines in this range. The Martini clone Cabernet on this Oakville side yields distinctive, beautifully layered wines. Sweet floral notes, mint, red plum, chocolate and spice all develop in the glass. The 2014 is attractive, but it does not appear to have the explosive depth of the best years. Perhaps that is one of the reasons Bevan is redeveloping this site. Tin Box is owned by Jean Phillips and sits across the road from Rudd in the heart of Oakville.

Producer Information

Bevan Cellars is a producer of Napa Valley and Sonoma wines based in Bennett Valley. It sources fruit from vineyards across the two major wine regions to produce small-lot wines made primarily of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Bevan Cellars' full-bodied, richly flavored wines score high with the press, making them highly coveted by collectors, and usually only available on allocation. The estate was founded by Russell Bevan and Victoria De Crescenzo in 2005. Before relocating to California, the two made regular trips to Napa Valley where they met and were mentored by esteemed winemakers Philip Togni and Bob Foley. In 1999, Bevan and De Crescenzo moved to California permanently, settling on an 3.5-hectare (8-acre) property in Bennett Valley. They planted just under a hectare to vine, and experimented with a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Showket Vineyard in Napa Valley's Oakville appellation. In 2005, Bevan Cellars had its first commercial release. Bevan Cellars is most famous for its red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, both varietal and as part of a Bordeaux blend. These wines include the Sugar Loaf Mountain Red, the Tin Box, and the McGah Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which have been awarded 100-point scores by American wine critic Robert Parker.
