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.

The 2022 Red Wine Ontogeny is bright, fresh and very easy to like. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, pine and spice are some of the many aromas and flavors that grace this vibrant, mid-weight red blend from Russell Bevan. Silky, seamless and exceptionally beautiful, the 2022 is an absolute winner.
