When Russell and Victoria founded Bevan Cellars back in 2005, they didn’t just set out to make great wine—they set out to discover the magic hidden in Napa’s vineyards. And oh, did they find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis particular vintage hails from the Tench Vineyard, \u003cb\u003ea site known for its challenging conditions and rewarding results.\u003c\/b\u003e Imagine a vineyard where the soil is so sparse that each vine fights for survival—yet it’s that struggle that gives this Cabernet its intense character. The vines here grow in a mix of red volcanic rock and just a smattering of clay loam, soaking up every last drop of sunlight until the sun dips behind the Mayacamas Mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat’s in the bottle?

Each vintage is a new journey, and this 2017 Tench Vineyard Cab is a testament to that adventurous spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRussell and Victoria have always believed that the journey is just as important as the outcome, and that philosophy shines through in this wine.
