This Napa Valley red, crafted by Russell Bevan, opens with rich aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and a touch of mocha, framed by subtle notes of cedar and crushed herbs.

On the palate, it’s layered and supple, with polished tannins supporting flavors of black plum, cocoa, and a hint of spice, all carried on a smooth, well-balanced structure. It shows the depth and concentration reminiscent of top-tier Napa Bordeaux blends, with a finish that lingers with dark fruit and a whisper of toasted oak. The wine feels both generous and controlled, offering complexity without excess weight.

Serve slightly below room temperature with a ribeye steak or mushroom risotto to highlight its richness and depth.
