Written Notes

Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 – Napa Valley, California

The 2019 vintage in Napa Valley was marked by a long, even growing season with moderate conditions, yielding wines of precision, balance, and purity—among the finest of the decade. At Bryant Family’s Pritchard Hill estate, the vintage produced a Cabernet Sauvignon of remarkable elegance and depth, capturing both the power of site and the finesse of the year.

The bouquet is expressive and layered, with blackberry, cassis, and blueberry framed by violet, graphite, tobacco, cedar, and subtle cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, yet finely poised, with ripe dark fruit carried by polished tannins and energized by a vibrant spine of acidity. Mineral undertones and savory spice add complexity, while the texture is seamless and refined.

The finish is long, resonant, and graceful, echoing cassis, floral notes, and graphite. A brilliant expression of Pritchard Hill terroir, the 2019 Bryant Family is both powerful and precise—a modern Napa classic built for decades of evolution. 98 points.

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Aromatic nose with elegant fruit, plums, black cherries, vanilla, and hints of earthy minerality. On the palate well-structured and balanced with excellent depth and length, ripe yet firm tannins and mild acidity. 

  • 97p

Subtle and complex aromas of blackcurrants, mushrooms, bark, flowers and fresh herbs. A full-to medium-bodied wine with persistent, powdery and polished tannins that give a dense, silky texture. Succulent and juicy at the end with almost blood-orange character. Purity and energy. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2026.

  • 99p

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a potent, tightly wound wine that will need at least a handful of years to soften. The aromatics alone are captivating. With time, the 2019 offers up generous red berry fruit, blood orange, rose petal, dried herbs and crushed rocks, all framed by bright, saline undertones that give the wine its shape. Just bottled, the 2019 shows better with each successive tasting. It's an absolutely brilliant wine by any measure.
