Written Notes

The 2023 DB4 is a vibrant and impeccably crafted Napa Valley blend that delivers both generosity and finesse. The nose opens with aromas of ripe cassis, black plum, and blueberry, complemented by hints of espresso, pencil shavings, dried herbs, and dark cocoa. Smooth and layered on the palate, it combines supple tannins with fresh acidity and finely integrated oak. Waves of dark fruit and savory spice unfold toward a persistent finish marked by subtle graphite and floral lift. A sophisticated, beautifully balanced wine that offers immediate appeal while retaining excellent aging potential.

The 2023 Bryant Family DB4 is an impressively polished Bordeaux-style blend that beautifully reflects the pedigree of the Bryant Family estate. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with violet, cedar, graphite, cocoa, and sweet baking spices. Subtle hints of crushed herbs and mineral notes add complexity and freshness.

The palate is medium- to full-bodied, offering generous fruit wrapped in silky, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity. Rich cassis, black cherry, and dark chocolate are complemented by notes of espresso, tobacco leaf, and fine oak, leading to a long, refined finish with lingering mineral and floral nuances. Elegant, approachable, and beautifully balanced, DB4 delivers outstanding quality while remaining accessible in its youth.
