Beautiful dark-fruit aromas and flavors on a sleek texture of fine-grained tannins. Red and black cherries, iron, earth and cocoa flavors. It increases its grip on the palate and finish, forming a firm, dry mouthfeel that will benefit from more time in the bottle. Drink or hold.

"The NV Brut Grand Rose is an absolutely delicious wine, particularly at the NV level. This is a serious rose, which is immediately evident in the wine’s dark hue and dense, full-bodied personality. Their wine possesses layers of candied Pinot fruit, all woven together in a rich, sensual style. This sweeping, large-scaled rose will offer its finest drinking at the dinner table. This is Lot 235066, disgorged November 6, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. This is a superb set of releases from Bara, arguably the most renowned grower in the village of Bouzy, where Pinot Noir reigns supreme."

Aromas of Gala apple, nectarine, toasted hazelnut and lemon peel drive the nose of this acid-forward Chardonnay. The palate gives rich, pithy texture and sunny flavors of tart pineapple and citrus blossom, with salty lemon lingering on the finish.

Generous, with a deep base of violet and berry preserves, adding brambly, herb- and pepper-accented berry flavors at the core. Prominent acidity and minerality offers some dimension, adding subtle cocoa bean and spice details on the finish. Drink now through 2040. 16,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.

The 2018 Houyi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is yet another absolute knockout from Bevan. This instantly grabs your attention with its insanely dark, inky color and striking aromatics, which are loaded with incredibally pure, ripe black cherries, boysenberries and black currants along with lead pencil, fresh dark florals, Asian spices, dark chocolate shavings and mountain sage nuances that fill the glass. This is just as sensational on the palate, with a gorgeous full body that is layered and beautifully polished. It goes on to deliver a luxurious mouthful of delicious ripe dark fruits, exotic spices, graphite and hints of dark cocoa powder which resonate all the way though the ultra-long, finish that is utterly seamless. This delivers on every level, and while it is absolutely captivating at this young age, it also has the structure to indicate a tremendous future ahead. This is a seriously impressive wine that should not be missed.

Coming from this famed rocky, red-soiled vineyard up on Pritchard Hill, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard was aged for 19 months in French oak barrels, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of fresh blueberries, black raspberries and warm black cherries followed by hints of cassis, wild sage and underbrush. Full-bodied, it has a firm, grainy texture supporting the muscular black fruit flavors with lots of red fruit sparks and mineral accents coming through on the persistent finish. 213 cases were made.
