Russell Bevan and Victoria De Crescenzo knew they were on to something special way back in the late 90′s when impromptu blind tastings with friends and trips to Napa became a regular part of their life. Over the next several years, they met with and were inspired by some of the greatest winemakers and viticulturists of the time. Robert Foley, Phil Togni, Greg La Follette, and others imparted bits of wisdom and wine lore that shaped their approach even before the first batch of wine was an idea. It was not long before they acquired eight acres of land in the Bennett Valley and with a ton of grapes from the best block in Kal Showket’s vineyard, Bevan Cellars was born.
The Bevan legacy continues to this day and every year continues to impress. Multiple 95-100 point ratings are a testament to the quality, dedication, and attention that they give to each one of their wines.
Bevan Cellars 2021 Pinot Noir Petaluma Gap, SonomaGGWC $82.50
The Bevan Petaluma Gap is a rich, powerful Pinot that delivers exactly what you’d expect from Bevan, tons of fruit in a balanced, seamless package. Black cherries, blackcurrants, graphite, and roasted herb notes all emerge from this full-bodied, powerful effort that has good acidity and length.
Russell Bevan notes: “What makes the 2021 Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir so unique is its textures. The mid-palate is round, luxurious, and pulls you in, but the tannins are so supple that you keep sipping it to experience them again and again. Dark blue fruits come from the Calera clone, then beautiful orange rind and spice fill out this complex, enthralling Pinot Noir.”
