The Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Proprietary Red is a divine blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot from a heralded site on the cooler, far southeast hillsides of Napa Valley. With beautifully expressive aromatics of mulberry, damson, black tea, and dark chocolate, leading to a palate of stunning richness, gorgeous tannins, and the purest of mineral finishes, this is one Napa’s most distinctive and celebrated wines!
The 2019 Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Proprietary Red, 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. A little closed to begin, it offers notes of sauteed herbs, kirsch, and warm raspberries before opening out to a core of warm plums, blackberry preserves, and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is lively and plush, with energetic black and red berry flavors and a long, lifted finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2048
Huge blue fruits, cassis, violets, and leafy herbs notes emerge from Bevan s 2019 Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard, a full-bodied, fresh, lively Cabernet that has silky yet building tannins, good acidity, and one heck of a finish. As with all of the 2019s here, it already offers pleasure, yet I suspect a few years of bottle age are warranted here.
The 2019 Red Wine Sugarloaf Mountain, a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, is another standout in this range. Franc aromatics soar out of the glass, adding tremendous aromatic presence to the full-throttle fruit. The 2019 is one of the most polished wines I have ever tasted from Russell Bevan. Rose petal, mocha and dried herbs linger on the huge, persistent finish.
