(Napa Valley, California) - [JS 95] [RP 90-92]

Notes From The Winemaker:
A true expression of the Pritchard Hill terroir, Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was first released in 1992 and is culled solely from grapes grown on the estate’s 13-acre vineyard. This First Growth wine conveys the long winemaking history of the region, a confluence of climate and soil plus a team of experts committed to nurturing its creation. Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon possesses

ethereal aromatics and pure minerality that give focus and energy. The complexity of the site yields unusually dynamic wines for a single varietal. The wines of the mid-90s inform our current, somewhat more restrained approach towards crafting wines that demonstrate structural elegance, balance with good acidity and plush tannins — all elements that make them very age-worthy.

95 Points - James Suckling:
"A juicy and rich red with plums, tile and dark berries. Violets, too. Full-bodied, tight and flavorful with some smoky oak and wet-earth character. Polished and silky. Salty, iron character. Umami. Give it a year or two." - (23 May, 2018 )

90-92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Proprietary Red DB4 is redolent of kirsch, mulberries, warm plums and black raspberries with suggestions of baking spices and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, soft, open and just about ready for business, the spicy red and black fruit preserves flavors are textured by plush tannins, and it finishes on a peppery note. This was tasted as a barrel sample." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown (31st Oct 2017)
