2019 Bryant Family Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JS99 "Subtle and complex aromas of blackcurrants, mushrooms, bark, flowers and fresh herbs. A full-to medium-bodied wine with persistent, powdery and polished tannins that give a dense, silky texture. Succulent and juicy at the end with almost blood-orange character. Purity and energy. From biodynamically grown grapes" JS Apr 2022
Bryant Family Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley JD98 (Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon) More backward and concentrated, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a dense purple/plum hue as well as a stunning nose of blackcurrants, unsmoked tobacco, lead pencil, and dried herbs. It's rich and full-bodied on the palate, has a wonderfully rounded, textured mouthfeel, loads of Cabernet character, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is pure class in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It has some up-front charm (as do most 2019s) yet will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise for 20-25 years if stored properly.
