Way way different wine than the bryant flagship wine i tasted tonight. Very different vintages as well. One obstreperous and one forgiving. However, i must say this wine nods toward the old school with its intense pyrazines and red fruit oriented character. A considerable earth tone that is consistent through the nose. A forest scent. This had chambord like deep raspberry aromas with hibiscus and dark strawberries with blackcurrant in the background. Magnificent oak integration. This wine was hard to rate behind their flagship 12 which had gained such praise but the complexity and finish of the 12 in such youth is a tad more compelling. — 10 years ago

Fruity, light. Nicely balanced. Not light weight. Light but has body. Great with lighter taste plats. — 13 years ago

No idea where we got this. Typically not bubbly drinkers so we added some chambord. Delish. — 12 years ago
