Lot #1189. Bevan Cellars Proprietary Red De Crescenzo Tench Vineyard The Impetus 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94+ AG.
"Bevan’s 2010 The Impetus is another beautiful wine. A blend of De Crescenzo Cabernet Franc and Tench Merlot, the 2010 is quite distinctive, particularly in its mineral-driven personality, much of which comes from the Sonoma fruit. Cool, bracing veins of acidity lend tension and energy to hints of graphite, crushed rocks and tobacco, all of which add complexity on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. 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." Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #204, Dec 2012
Provenance: The Homard Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
