We’re gonna make you an offer he can’t refuse… Trust us, you’re gonna want to take it.

A wine polished to perfection by Russell Bevan at Adversity Cellars, so under the radar few have heard of it. 44% OFF, and with a newly minted 94 Points!!

Do you love your big, meaty, juicy, lustrous Cabernets so good that they’re dangerous? Of course you do.

There is something about grabbing this bottle that just feels right. The label gives real Sine Qua Non vibes, but it’s not alone in that. It pours a deep purple, swirls in the glass with a languid viscosity that bursts with aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cigar box, toast, and dark chocolate. The palate has the brawn of an enforcer but the intellectual finesse of a boss, full of muscular fruit but fine tannins. It’s dark, complex, and refined.

It’s no surprise it was the master, the man, Russell Bevan himself! A man with more 100 Pointers than we have time to count. Wine Advocate reminds us that “Bevan makes full-throttle, ultra-ripe Napa Valley Cabernets and blends that reflect their maker’s personality. Big, expansive and never shy, these are wines that represent a different side of Napa than more classical, restrained Cabernets, but they have earned their place as part of the Valley’s culture for their exuberance and bold, hedonistic flavors”

Founded by Michael Giordano, whose success in the cigar business left him with a taste for the finer things in life. And his memories of wine began with his great-grandfather, a first generation Italian-American with a penchant for telling stories about “La Pistolina” he carried through the mean streets while sipping his red. The wine is named in his honor.

Very little of this wine is made. We can’t tell you how we managed to get it. Normally, it costs you nearly a BENJAMIN. Today, a FRACTION OF THAT!

If big, plush, powerful Cabs are your thing (and we know they are!), you are going to want to take this offer, and STOCK UP!!!

94 Points – Decanter (to be published soon) “The high-toned notes of 2022 are apparent here, with violets and mulberry fruits, all coming together nicely on the full-bodied palate, with nice, fine-grained tannins, velvety, with a very pleasant, long, fruit-and-spice-driven finish. Drink 2026-2032.”
