Product Description
JS 97 "Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and flowers follow through to a full-bodied, dense and layered palate with lots of dark chocolate, hazelnuts and berries at the end. A hint of white pepper. Shows lots of tannins, but they are round and polished. Drink after 2022." JS Feb 2019
AG 96 "Dark, sumptuous and beautifully textured in the glass, the 2016 Bettina is positively stellar. All the elements come together effortlessly in the glass. Crème de cassis, blueberry jam, spice, new leather and menthol develop, but it is the wine's exceptional balance and breeding that stand out most. Medium in body and super-refined, the 2016 is a real pleasure to taste today. As a reminder, the Bettina is a blend made from various David Abreu vineyards." AG for VM Oct 2018
"Bryant's 2016s are absolutely breathtaking. The estate certainly made the most out of their 25th Anniversary vintage. The estate Cabernet is especially thrilling, but all of the 2016s are well worth considering. Proprietor Bettina Bryant brings a level of focus and sheer determination that wasn't always present here. I have long believed (and written) that the Bryant Cabernet should be one of the very top wines in Napa Valley."
