Bryant Family Vineyard

Proprietor Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

2005 vintage. Tasted after being open for approx two hours. Emperor's semi-new clothes. I get that people dig this fruit bomb style but the lack of tannins/acidity leave it rather one-dimensional. The single dimension is really nice, yet not enuff to overcome needed Napa Cab balance. Ditching structure and attempting to reinvent the wheel has obviously pulled plenty of people into this producer's orbit. To each their own-orbit. 12.27.24. — 7 months ago

Nice notes. I wonder how much the winemaker tried to disguise the 05 vintage fault-lines (and there were several). Personally, I avoid 98, 03 and 05’s from Cali.

@Ron R If you ever come across a bottle of the 1998 Chateau Montelena Estate Cab, you might amend your statement. Montelena's '98 Cab was better than nearly every other Napa Cab '97. Reverified this year. Of course, it, along with the Dunn Howell Mtn, are probably the two exceptions that prove your 1998 rule.

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, I do accept your point as there are always issues with imprecise generalizations. With so many better vintages available, without prior tasting, I wouldn’t choose the vintages that I mentioned.

Blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, aged in 40% new French oak. Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe dark fruits, cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and currants with notes of herbs, pepper spice, hints of vanilla and earthy notes. Fine sweet tannins, long finish ending with cacao, smoky oak, fruit and mineral tang. Very nice, aging well, but time will reward! — 5 months ago

Etude

Estate Grown Grace Benoist Ranch Pinot Noir 2018

Bright ruby red color. Bountiful aromas of red berries and dried violets. Pallet is full of strawberry and raspberry fruit with hints of black tea, baking spices, earth and pepper spice. Just a bit of a “gamey” quality as well. Nice hint of oak on the clean finish. Fine tannins and bright acidity. Creamy texture. Rich and nicely rounded. Absolutely a “California-Style” Pinot Noir. Nice choice, Mark Smith. — 3 years ago
