Russell Bevan

Russell Bevan is an inspired winemaker whose brilliance shines through in the singular wines he nurtures from fruit to bottle. A serious student of wine most of his adult life, Russell first made his mark as a writer with a syndicated column published in Wine Spectator. In 2004, Russell stepped away from the typewriter and into the vineyard, to begin making memorable wines and joining an elite group of winemakers who have received Robert Parker's 100 point score. Russell's Tin Box is the only wine from the 2011 vintage to garner that accolade, and his last three vintages have cach received the coveted 100 point score. One of Napa Valley's most skillful winemakers, Russcll cites Philip Togni and Greg LaFollette as mentors. He is also a winemaker for Chateau Boswell. PerUs sparks Russell's natural exuberance: "This is an amazing convergence of gifted people, offering a chance to learn and be inspired by the some of the best people in wine."
