Flaunting alluring aromas of creamy vanilla, cherry pie and Christmas spices, this memorable new Pinot launches forth with opulent Bing cherry, raspberry and a hint of strawberry – rhubarb pie on the silky finish. Copious notes of lavender, cassis and cranberries come through a full 20 seconds after finishing this tasty creation. This is a massive wine (almost Cab-like in its intensity) guaranteed to impress fans of the boldest Pinots such as Sea Smoke and Kosta Browne.  Although a mere youth, this is already a leviathan wine that coats the palate with remarkable viscosity and seductive flavors. Enjoy the journey anytime through 2029. Decanting recommended prior to 2024. – March 2023

Russell Bevan is an inspired winemaker whose brilliance shines through in the singular
wines he nurtures from fruit to bottle. A serious student of wine most of his adult life,
Russell first made his mark as a writer with a syndicated column published in Wine
Spectator. In 2004, Russell stepped away from the typewriter and into the vineyard, to
begin making memorable wines and joining an elite group of winemakers who have
received Robert Parker’s 100 point score. Russell’s Tin Box is the only wine from the
2011 Napa vintage to garner that accolade, and his last three vintages have each received
the coveted 100 point score. One of Napa Valley’s most skillful winemakers, Russell
cities Philip Togni and Greg LaFollette as mentors.
