2022 Bevan 'Ontogeny' Proprietary Red Napa Valley
Bevan’s powerhouse blend delivers once again—big, bold, and unapologetically opulent. Dominated by over 75% Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Ontogeny is a thrill ride of pure blue and black fruit, wrapped in a lush, mouth-filling texture. Dark, rich, and beautifully structured, this is a Cabernet lover’s dream, with layers of crushed flowers, cocoa, and stony minerality. Russell Bevan calls it the best Ontogeny yet.

The star of the show is the 2022 Ontogeny, a broad, layered, richly textured 2022 that has gorgeous cassis and blue fruits as well as integrated oak, some classic Cabernet graphite, iron, and smoked tobacco. It’s rich, full-bodied, and wonderfully complex, with ripe tannins and a great, great finish. I love it today yet it should cruise over the coming 10-15 years in cold cellars.
