2021 Bevan Cellars Pinot Noir Petaluma Gap Sonoma Coast 750 ml

Russell Bevan was once a well-kept secret—but no more. His impeccably made blockbusters are not only shop favorites, but he’s earned sixteen 100-point scores from Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck. Collectors now line up to pay $195 a bottle for his Cabernets.

But here’s one thing about Bevan that most wine lovers don’t know: If he didn’t already reign as one of California’s Cabernet kings, he’d surely be celebrated as one of the state’s most gifted Pinot producers.

Bevan makes some of the most opulent and elegant Pinot Noirs on the West Coast, and the 2021 Bevan Cellars Petaluma Gap Sonoma Coast is the newest iteration of one of his defining bottlings. Unabashedly full-bodied, it’s yet another wine that will make a massive fan out of anyone who loves rich Pinot Noirs like Kosta Browne and Sea Smoke.

The same thread that runs through Bevan’s headline-grabbing Cabs also runs through his Pinots. He sources all of his wines from some of the most sought-after vineyards in California. They’re all fully destemmed and aged in 100% new French oak, and they all display that concentrated, sexy, seamless quality that has made massive fans of us, the critics, and California wine lovers.

Russell Bevan’s talent is not a secret. His Pinots still are. We’re thrilled to share that secret with you.
