Bryant Family DB4 Wine

In 2007, Don and Bettina Bryant developed Bryant Family DB4, an entry-level wine to complement the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and the Bryant Family 'Bettina.' The wine is crafted from leftover fruit from the Pritchard Hill vineyard and blended with David Abreu's Madrona Ranch, Thorevilos, and Las Posadas fruit. Its name is derived from the Bryant Family founder, Don Bryant, and his love for the site's 4 main blocks. Regularly cited as one of Napa Valley's best 'sibling wines.' Bryant Family DB4 is perfect for drinkers looking to experience California cult winemaking at an accessible price. 

DB4 Wine: Bryant Estate Entry-Level Label

Bryant Family DB4 was first released in the 2009 vintage and quickly captivated critics with its intense aromatics, concentrated palate, and approachability. The wine is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, blended with hints of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Though less concentrated than Bryant Estate's two main offerings, Bryant DB4 has been described as rich, rounded, and lush, drinking excellently in its youth, yet also able to last in the cellar for 10-15 years. 

Bryant DB4's hallmark is its intense aromatics, as drinkers are paraded lively red and blue berries, crushed flowers, and rhubarb from the first pour. On the palate, the wine is refined, elegant, and balanced, ending with a polished finish. The bottles regularly receive 90+ point ratings from critics, with Antonio Galloni claiming "the DB4 has been a real overachiever" in comparison to other Napa second wines.
