Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Notes from the Winemaker
The Bryant Family Vineyard 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking example of the power and elegance that Pritchard Hill can offer. In the glass, it presents a deep, inky hue, indicative of its intensity. The nose is a layered bouquet of vibrant cassis, black cherry, and black currant, seamlessly intertwined with savory notes of graphite, sage, tapenade, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, this wine reveals its profound density and minerality, supported by finely finessed tannins that give it a smooth, yet substantial mouthfeel. There's an underlying brightness and purity to the fruit that adds a dynamic freshness, leading to a seemingly endless, pure finish. The 2021 vintage captures the complexity and character of Bryant's hillside estate, offering a Cabernet Sauvignon that is both powerful and refined, with an energy that suggests it will continue to evolve beautifully over time.
Reviews and Accolades
97-100 Points/Jeb Dunnuck2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is inky hued and boasts some serious structure, with classic 2021 tannins and mid-palate depth. Blackcurrant, scorched earth, graphite, and liquid violet notes define the aromatics, and its dense and compact on the palate, with beautiful length. This is another incredibly majestic Cabernet Sauvignon from this estate that's going to rank with the cr me de la cr me of the vintage once bottled, yet as with the vast majority of top 2021s, it's going to demand bottle age.
97-99 Points/Wine Advocate
Bryant's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon combines mint, sage, crushed stone, pencil shavings, cherries and cassis on the nose. Is it perhaps just a bit more complex than the Bettina? It's certainly just as powerful and concentrated, being full-bodied and richly tannic but ripe, silky and almost never-ending on the finish. Personal preference will play heavily into which of the two wines you enjoy more, but both are packed with pleasure.
94-97 Points/Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most embryonic, young 2021s I have tasted. At this stage, this is dense and packed to the core, with notable fruit intensity and equally potent tannins. It's an exciting wine, but also incredibly youthful. I very much admire the energy here.
