The 2009 Red Wine EE Cuvee Showket Vineyard flows onto the palate with sweet roses, spices, flowers, all of which come together in a forward, juicy style meant to be enjoyed over the next few years. Floral notes round out the textured finish. This is another soft, totally inviting wine from Russell Bevan. The EE Cuvee is 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. Russell Bevan exudes energy and exuberance, both of which come through in spades in his fruit-forward, showy wines. Bevan likes to name wines after people who have been instrumental to his success. While that is certainly admirable, it isn’t always easy to following the progression of his wines for what are essentially the same cuvees with different names, depending on the year.Tel.
