Russell Bevan, the owner and winemaker of Bevan Cellars, has established a reputation for producing a variety of single vineyard wines, each with a distinctive style reflecting the unique characteristics of individual vineyards.  Bevan is described as “an incredibly creative and diligent winemaker with a keen nose for singular vineyard sites”, and has also consulted with other wineries, resulting in many highly praised wines.   Bevan produces wines from both Napa and Sonoma vineyards and strives to create wines inspired by the classics of Bordeaux and Burgundy, depending on the grapes and terroir of each vineyard.  The Napa wines are sourced from premier appellations, such as Oakville, Howell Mountain, Rutherford, and Stags Leap, while the Sonoma wines are from highly sought-after sites in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast.  Bevan summed up his winemaking goal: "For each vintage is to seek the thrill of discovery, to source grapes from vineyards that are hidden gems, and to achieve our signature style of intense yet balanced wines while reflecting the origin of the grapes.”   Benchmark Wine Group offers many Bevan wines and vintages, including 99- and 100-point selections.
