The 2016 Proprietary Red Sugarloaf Mountain is built on lifted aromatics and more of a mid-weight sense of structure than is found in the other wines of the range. Sage, crème de cassis, menthol, lavender, mint and dark fruit are all nicely layered. Gracious and light on its feet (that is not a typo), with gorgeous perfume from the Franc, the Proprietary Red is distinctive and incredibly inviting.In Bond€1,735.00 -

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.In Bond€1,300.00 -

The 2020 Pinot Noir Estate Bien Nacido Vineyard is a heady, exuberant wine that very much reflects the heat and drought of year. A burst of red cherry/plum fruit, hard candy, kirsch, rose petal, mint, lavender and sweet spice gives the 2020 is flashy personality. The 2020 is not exactly subtle, but it sure offers tons of immediacy and overall appeal.In Bond€576.00 -

(60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot): Deep red with a dark core. Slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry liqueur, wild herbs and white fruits. Massive, thick and sweet, with the fruit syrup quality continuing through the palate. Most noteworthy today for its sheer volume and voluptuous texture. But this hugely tannic, mouth-expanding wine also shows surprising balance and an absence of rough edges.In Bond€145.00 -

The 2016 Pinot Noir Troubadour is a standout in this tasting, especially for a ten-year-old wine. Beautiful floral nuances and rich black fruit feel very youthful, with a plush, enveloping mouthfeel. Bob Cabral told me he feels like he picked this fruit too ripe, but I don't see any of that here. The 2016 is so fleshy and sexy.In Bond€1,185.00 -
