Drawing inspiration from the deep bond shared between Heidi Bevan and her twin, Heather, the 2021 Twin Cabernet Sauvignon emerges as a celebration of connection, intensity, and the joyous moments life presents. This wine, a perfect blend of complexity and seduction, mirrors the personalities of its muses—vibrant, full of life, and the heart of any gathering.

The journey of the Twin begins in the heart of Napa Valley, where the merging of Sugarloaf Mountain and Phelan Ranch Cabernet fruits occurs. These vineyards, known for their rugged terrain and challenging growing conditions, impart a character to the wine that is as deep and complex as the bond between twins. The Sugarloaf Mountain fruit adds a layer of boldness and depth, while the Phelan Ranch Cabernet contributes to the wine's refined elegance and structured tannins.

Upon tasting, the 2021 Twin reveals a tapestry of rich flavors, starting with a compelling mix of plum, cherry, and raspberry. As the experience deepens, notes of bittersweet chocolate emerge, adding a profound depth that transitions smoothly from dark fruit to enticing hints of mocha and coffee. The palate is greeted gently at first, only to unveil a bold, powerful presence that speaks to the wine’s high concentration and substantial weight. Despite its boldness, the tannins of the Twin are softening, becoming more supple with time, promising a future where the wine becomes even more lively and present.

Aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels, this wine’s aging process is meticulously planned to enhance its complexity and ensure its longevity. The choice of French oak not only contributes to the wine’s impressive structure but also complements its rich flavor profile with subtle undertones of vanilla and spice. With an alcohol content of 14.9%, the Twin strikes a perfect balance between potency and elegance, showcasing the winemaking expertise that Adversity Cellars is renowned for.

Produced in a limited batch of just 175 cases, the 2021 Twin Cabernet Sauvignon is not just a wine; it’s a narrative woven from the fabric of human connection, a tribute to the indomitable spirit of individuals who thrive in the face of challenges. Priced at $225 per bottle, it stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of Russell and Heidi Bevan, whose dedication to winemaking reflects both Russell’s larger-than-life personality and Heidi’s discerning touch.

The 2021 Twin is more than a remarkable wine: it’s a celebration of the essence of twinship—unique, intertwined, and unforgettable. As it ages, it promises to evolve, much like the journey of life itself, becoming richer, more nuanced, and even more captivating with time.
