Very cool that this wine is served by the glass in Whole Foods (Bryant Park, NYC) at the pizza counter. Mid-weight and silky. Red fruit driven. Very tasty! — 8 years ago

On the nose, creamy dark & mid red fruits, fresh purple florals and loamy soils. Palate of lean ripe fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, plum & raspberries. The tannins are dusty but grippy, raspberry cola, brown dusty soil, crushed rocks, fresh purple florals, leather, bramble, steeped fruit tea, good acidity but not a great finish. Astringent and dry. Wine is really tight at this point which is surprising for a 2012. Elizbeth Tangney is the Winemaker. She worked for L’Aventure in Paso Robles, Booker Vineyards, in St. Emillion and for Bryant before becoming their Winemaker. Aron Potts is their Consultanting Winemaker. He has his own label, Potts. He was previously the Assistant Winemaker at Kongsgaard and was the Winemaker at Château Troplong-Mondot in Bordeaux. Both shown in the photos as is their estate building and one of their vineyards. — 8 years ago

6L 1984 Ridge Monte Bello CS. DS birthday. CS flight alongside '93 Bryant. Loved this wine, but bc Bryant was bigger, this got a little overshadowed. Really loved this wine tho. — 9 years ago

In a blind tasting a few years ago I mistook this for a Bryant Fam. CS.
Let's just say I wouldn't do that today.
Still a beautiful wine but for me it has lost that "Wow-factor" and I think this is on a downward slope.

Old school napa.. Beautiful. - crazy to drive up and pass signs for Bryant Family and Continuum, and then enjoy wines from the same area at a fraction of the price... — 11 years ago

Wine of the Night for me. Up against an absolute onslaught of names. Levy and McClellan, harlan, DoNa, El Nido, Bryant, and on and on. Maximum delicious, tannins have softened after a decade, simply sublime. — 8 years ago

Our first DB4. Huge inviting nose of wet forest, cedar closet, unsmoked tobacco, black licorice, and berries. Rich and full on the palate with a blend of red and blue fruit. Impressive tannic structure. Happy to have three more of these to age! — 8 years ago

This Abreu always impresses me - has so much depth and is so so smooth. I just love it. These have been aging well....but it got me thinking, and I went down a wormhole again. What's the fulcrum point? When and where should you open up a special wine? I wait on some for that special occasion, and then sometimes wait too long (which is such a bummer!!) I have a couple bottles of each of these - opinions on now or later welcome: Grace Family '02 and Bryant Family '01 — 9 years ago

I was very pleased with this choice. The fact that I had this at Bryant park in NY after a great day might have influenced that taste buds a little. — 10 years ago

Chenin blanc the only one in Naps when dad purchased the vineyards one was planted to Chenin they tore it out 2004 replanted 2005 Molly chappellet is the label only sold at the winery apple honey extract honeysuckle and bright acidity. Bought a homesteaders propery homestead 600 proprty 400 for the home real estate 300000 acre they were the only ones on the hill lovely intensity with a creamy texture long finish lovely minerality. Finish 45+? All vineyards replanted they have learned a lot so the wines keep getting better. Original 320 acres intact from Prichard. Very close to a dry vouvray. Neighbors Ovid continuum Bryant David Arthur they are 100% solar and organic the next generation will have a better piece of property. Bought next door neighbors property to protect the family but not a real estate guy so he only bought the extra 300 acres of property this is also where all of the water comes from. 120 acres of vineyard today. sister does legal work and brother oversees winery production. M and dad still around. The next generation? — 12 years ago
