Bevan Cellars Sentinel Ridge Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ML)

94-96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Sentinel Ridge Vineyard is pretty and perfumed, with an exotic perfume of red and blue fruits as well as spring flowers, spicy oak, and graphite. It's one of the more charming, forward, approachable wines in the lineup, yet it’s beautifully balanced, has ripe tannins, and the vintage's class." 01/25

96-98 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Sentinel Ridge is a total turn-on. The aromatics alone are spellbinding. Graphite, crushed rocks, slate, sage and dried herbs are all beautifully delineated. I imagine this will need a few years in bottle to truly shine. It's a magical wine from Russell Bevan. This is a heavyweight. (Drink between 2027-2038)" 12/24

94-96 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "From a small, Howell Mountain vineyard, Bevan's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Sentinel Ridge features mocha-tinged aromas and hints of charred oak alongside cassis, black cherries and plummy fruit. Full-bodied but smooth and silky, defined by its super-ripe tannins, it remains focused and long on the finish." 06/25
