ナパのカルト”ワインのひとつ、ブライアント・ファミリーのカベルネ･ソーヴィニヨン
Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made from our 13-acre estate vineyard atop Pritchard Hill, overlooking Lake Hennessey. This First Growth vineyard is meticulously farmed by David Abreu, with whom we have worked closely for over 12 years. This wine is a beautiful expression of our unique terroir and a testament to the dedication of our winemaking and vineyard team to produce the finest possible wine from this site.
ワインメーカー Helen Keplinger’s Tasting Notes:
The 2009 Bryant Family Vineyard is intensely perfumed and confectionary, with layers of black cherry, red currant, star anise, hoisin, white flowers and crushed rocks. The palate is explosive and pure, with beautiful focus and layers of fruit, spice, and minerality underpinned by incredibly fine, polished tannins and an infinite finish. This wine will benefit from 20 minutes of decanting for the first 18 months.

"Bryant’s 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is totally gorgeous. Mocha, plums, espresso, rosemary and plums are some of the many notes that burst from the glass in this rich, powerful, totally seductive wine. The 2009 impresses for its sensual personality and sheer class. An impeccable sense of refinement and polish rounds out this huge, glorious Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a wine of extraordinary elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.
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."

"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with rich, dark red fruit, smoke, licorice and incense. The aromas and flavors are a touch ripe, exotic and totally seductive. Polished, silky tannins frame the fruit beautifully through to the finish, where floral notes add the lift and brightness. The 2009 isn’t a huge wine, but it is immensely appealing. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. Don Bryant's hillside vineyard occupies a gorgeous position above Lake Hennessey. The wines capture the very best qualities of what makes Napa Valley so compelling. Although they are quite showy when young, the wines also age exceptionally well. The 2009s are strikingly beautiful. They aren't huge wines, but rather Cabernets that impress for their superb balance." (Wine Advocate #198 Dec 2011 Antonio Galloni 96+ Drink: 2014 - 2029)
インターナショナルワインセラー(Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar) 93-96 points :
Deep ruby. Knockout nose combines ripe black raspberry, blueberry, wild strawberry, dark chocolate and incense. A creamy-sweet fruit bomb in the mouth, with a strong cocoa powder quality complicating the black raspberry and blueberry flavors. A subtle hint of smoky minerality emerged as the sample opened in the glass. Finishes with dusty tannins and excellent length. A second sample introduced a pronounced element of liquid rock along with hints of wild herbs and wet earth, and finished even longer, with more obvious structure. (6/ 2011)
