ワインメーカー Todd Alexander’s Tasting Notes:
The 2010 DB4 bursts from the glass with notes of pomegranate, cassis, perfume, rhubarb, spices and caramel. On the palate the texture is velvety and plush, with a nimble, pleasing acidity and a focused, clean finish. The 2010 DB4 will age beautifully, but you shouldn’t feel guilty about enjoying it in the next few years with a 20-30 minute decant.
The 2010 DB4 comprises Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bryant Family Vineyard estate as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot from Abreu vineyard sites. The varietal composition is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot.

"The 2010 DB4 is insanely beautiful. Crushed rocks, plums, cinnamon and licorice jump from the glass from this striking, delineated wine. In 2010, the DB4 has a level of pure energy and vibrancy that is missing in the 2009, most likely because it also includes declassified lots from the Bettina. This is a great showing from Don Bryant and his team. In most cellars, the DB4 would be the top wine, but here it is the second label. Top flight Napa Cabernet is seldom inexpensive, but this is just about as good as it gets for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
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."
