Bevan Cellars Ontogeny 2018 Color:Red The nose is inviting withWe have to go back to the 2013 to find an Ontogeny that is this enthralling. The wines pedigree is special: Tench, Sugarloaf, Harbison, Wildfoote, Saunders and Sage Ridge. It cascades across your palate with seamless ease. Explosive notes of crme de cassis, lavender and huckleberries give the wine a luxurious fruit component. The mouth feel is all about controlled power, the tannins come in waves, but they hit with incredible grace.
