This is a cuvee made for golfers, in this case Ben Curtis.  I suspect it is sold at Golf Courses.  I don't really know what grapes are in it.  Purple in color.  The nose has cherries and raspberries.  On the palate, this is big fruit.  The label lists 14.9% alcohol.  It is sweet and jammy.  Not my favortie style but if that is what one likes, they may like this a bit better than I.  Certainly a fun wine to get to be able to try.  

Stunning wine.  I know this isn't one of the single vineyards, but for half the price, this is amazing.  Purple in color.  The nose is amazing.  Cassis, slight blueberries, a slight floral note and spice.  On the palate, this is open and drinking great.  An almost samless texture.  Juicy acidity.  Cassis, blueberries, spice and slight char.  Great finish.  Its one of those wines where each sip makes you want another one right away because it is so good.  Then, the bottle is empty.  Will this improve?  I don't know but I do know that Bevan reds drink great young and there is no reason to wai

This is very solid Cab.  Its always been a good value as well in the world of California Cabernet.  Purple in color.  The nose has cassis, dark cherries, and spice.  On the palate, this is medium bodied.  One dimenstional perhaps but quite tasty.  Nice cassis fruit.  Easy drinking.  A great wine for a crowd.  Nice finish.  

Great showing for this.  Still quite youthful.  Purple in color, to the rim.  On the nose, this has black raspberries, slight black pepper, hints of roasted meats and slight charcoal.  Grat rich texture.  Pure black raspberry fruit with great intensity.  Layers of fruit with earth.  Long finish.  Just a fantastic wine with at least a decade or two left.  

This is a fine wine.  Puple in color.  The nose has cassis, spice and slight chocolate.  Nice full bodied texture.  Plenty of cassis and some plums with spice.  There doesn't seem to be a lot of depth and it could use a bit more acidity.  That said, it is enjoyable for what it is and drinks easy with no food.  Pleasant finish.  

This seems to be a bit over the hill.  That said, it has enough to suggest that it was probably a nice wine a few years ago.  Ruby/purple in color.  Cherries and dried cherries on the nose.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, cherries and dried cherries.  Slightly oxidized perhaps.  Nice finish.  It would be interesting to try a newer vintage of this.  

Excellent wine and in a young, but good place right now.  It does have a decade or two left.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nose has dust, cassis, cherries, slight sandalwood and cigar box.  On the palate, this drinks like a riper Bordeaux wine.  Dark cherries, cassis, slight earthy funk.  Great texture, almost seamless.  Long finish.  This is a very pretty feminine wine but certainly hasw all the structure it needs.  Great wine.  

Purple in color.  The nose is dusty with cassis and cranberries.  Very soft on the palate.  Some depth.  Nice tart cranberry and raspberry fruit.  Easy drinking.  Little tannins.  A solid wine but I would drink these up.   

My first time trying this winery and I was impressed.  Excellent wine.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nsoe has cherries, spice and a morel mushroom quality that was great.  On the palate, it is a bit candied but delicious.  Sweet dark cherries.  Slight tannins.  Enough acidity.  Very nice finish.  Wored well with food.  Outstanding.  

Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nose has cassis, dust and nutmeg.  On the palate, this is tight.  Great cassis fruit.  An underlying spice quality.  There is a nice ripeness here.  It needs some time to integrate and has some upside potential.  It does seem riper than earlier vintages but well within bounds.  Great wine.
