Bevan Proprietary Red Napa Ontogeny 2022

96 Points | CWA
“The 2022 Bevan Ontogeny is a bold, irresistible crowd-pleaser that delivers huge flavor and serious fun. Bursting with jammy dark fruit, baked blackberry, black cherry, milk chocolate, and vanilla, it offers a ripe, silky texture with enough structure to keep it all together. Aromas of espresso and chocolate-covered cherries lead into a juicy, fruit-forward palate, accented by a hint of green herb and a touch of smokiness from toasted oak. The sheer deliciousness and drinkability make this a total steal. Flashy, plush, and outrageously enjoyable.” - California Wine Advisors
