Note di degustazione
Bevan's last wine from the former Showket vineyard in Oakville, the 2009 Curmudgeon is totally beguiling from start to finish. Sweet, red cherries, smoke, licorice, new leather, tobacco and graphite are all woven together in a fabric of notable class. The 2009 boasts gorgeous complexity, highly expressive fruit and tons of personality. I loved it. Curmudgeon is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Cabernet Franc from Showket, which was subsequently purchased by Peter Michael.

Russell Bevan is one of the more outspoken producers in Napa Valley, and so are his wines. These sumptuous, beautifully textured reds are full of personality. Made to be accessible right upon release, the Bevan wines are rich, intense and hugely delicious. Russell Bevan is one of the growing number of producers using high amounts of Cabernet Franc in some of his wines, and I have to say, the results are striking. Tel. (707) 332-2918
