Bevan Cellars, Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions pure and relatively high-toned nose

pure and relatively high-toned nose of citrus and floral elements that display a top note of lightly spiced pear

Offers a full range of ripe black cherry and black currant

more so than the more linear and focused 2016 Brunello Pianrosso (that I preferred by a tiny margin)

earth and floral-suffused nose

Balsam and warmth with great balance of fully ripe fruit and impressive subtlety

Bevan Cellars, Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions pure and relatively high-toned noseThe 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block is another super distinctive wine in this lineup. Inky blue and purplish fruit, chocolate, espresso, mint and lavender are all generous in this jammy, super concentrated Cabernet. Russell Bevan's style and this Stags Leap vineyard marry beautifully to produce an unabashedly opulent Cabernet that will drink well right out of the gate. Antonio Galloni
