Russell Bevan is a two-meter-long, lovable and highly talented warhorse. I met him many years ago and was fascinated by his spirit and the energy he brings to his Bevan Cellars winery. Russell's wines are powerful Californians, dark in color and super expressive. These are not wines for sissies, a good old friend once told me. And somehow he was right! Russell put's the pedal to the metal!
