Bryant Family Vineyard Proprietor Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
One of Napa Valley's most collectible Cabernets! Extremely limited.96+ Points Robert Parker: "Smoke, tar, incense and licorice are some of the many notes that emerge from the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an especially dark, brooding vintage for Bryant. Cassis, pencil shavings and melted road tar emerge later, adding further complexity and nuance. Unlike the 2009, there is little in the way of early appeal. On the other hand, I see the 2010 drinking beautifully for many, many years. There is an underlying vein of minerality that gives the 2010 a sense of energy and focus. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030.... ...Perched on Pritchard Hill above the shores of Lake Hennessey, Bryant is without question one of the most spectacular vineyards in Napa Valley. I don’t see any reason why the Cabernets that emerge from this property shouldn’t be among the top 5-10 wines in the valley each and every year, but continuity is the key to making that happen. Following the departure of Helen Turley in 2002, Bryant has employed Philippe Melka, Mark Aubert, Ross Wallace, Helen Keplinger and now Todd Alexander, who took over in October 2012."

It is what it is. Way too expensive... But insanely delicious.

2010 vintage. Heavy/full body. Mix of darker and lighter berries on the nose and during a high decant. Not my jam stylistically but obviously not a cheap chicken when tasting. 4.6.24.

Huge wine. Really enjoyed it. Full throttle but fruit under control which showcases the wine making.

This was our NYE wine. Bryant Family was the first really great wine I ever had many years ago (a 1995 if I recall). This bottle brought me right back to that experience. I love the flavors of this wine. A bit woodsy with some cassis and a little black truffle mixed in. Perfectly balanced. The 2010's are ready to drink now

Way early for this. Another 10 years in the bottle will do this one nicely.

Wow! Silky smooth tannins that are very well integrated. Dark berries, with a hint of freeness that disappeared with a decant. Super long finish that went on for dayssssss. Perfect pairing with lamb chops. So glad I still have a bottle to revisit in another 5yrs.
