98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  A potentially perfect wine, the 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a fabulous nose of cassis, cream, blueberries, violets, minerals, and spice. It smells like a hypothetical blend of a great vintage of L'Evangile, Clinet, and Mouton-Rothschild. The opaque purple/black color is followed by a full-bodied wine stacked and packed with fruit, glycerin, and extract. No component part is out of place in this fo...

The Story

The vineyard’s west-facing slope is perfectly positioned to capture the prevailing cool lake breezes, while also providing protection from drying canyon winds. The unique combination of rocky Sobrante soil, sunlight, cool breezes, soil depth and meticulous farming site to yield wines of ...

Wine Information

One of the most concentrated yet opulent Cabernet Sauvignons in the world. A blockbuster wine with great elegance. The wine has an immense balance, with jammed cassis fruit, lovely acidity and super, smooth tannins. Due to its high concentration and density, it prefers ten to fifteen years of cellaring before delivering its best.

Written Notes

Bryant Family Vineyard is located on Pritchard Hill, high above Lake Hennessy in the Napa Valley. Ever since its instant success release in 1992, the Bryant Family has produced a string of highly rated wines through the 1990s with the help of the cult winemaker Helen Turley.

Bottle like new. Decanted for 2 hours. Almost black colour. On the nose wide and open with aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate and espresso. This is a profound, inky wine that has the perfect expression of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Massively structured and loaded with glycerin. The fruit really came out at a huge-sized, pronounced finish.

(15.2% alcohol): Good deep red with ruby highlights. Game, truffle, currant and sweet oak on the iniviting nose. Plush and sweet on entry, then a bit green in the middle, with herb, truffle and tobacco leaf flavors dominating underlying redcurrant, plum, floral pastilles and spicecake. Round and ample but also has lift. In a very ripe style and delicious right now. The tannins are resolved but this wine still has plenty of fruit.
