This is a knock-out set of wines from Russell Bevan. The 2016s are rich and sumptuous, as all of his wines are, and yet they also convey the essence of site. Speaking of vineyards, Bevan now owns or controls a number of top-notch sites that inform these wines. The Cabernets from Oakville are especially of note. Readers should expect unapologetically rich, full-throttle Cabernets.

This is a stellar set of wines from Russell Bevan and Victoria De Crescenzo. Bevan now sources fruit from a mind-boggling range of prime vineyards. In 2015, the freakish nature of the vintage has attenuated some of the differences between those sites, while the 2016s are much more delineated and expressive of place. All that is to say the 2015s and 2016s are highly representative of their respective vintages. As always, the Bevan wines are intense and flamboyant, even if they are not quite as over the top as they were in the early days.
