2005 Bryant Family Cabernet - 94 pts!
Elegant and stylish, with ripe, vivid black cherry, currant, wild berry and black olive flavors that gain depth and vibrancy, picking up body and complexity and ending with a long, lingering finish that keeps repeating the fruit and cedary oak themes. Best from 2011 through 2017. 700 cases made. WS The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (800 cases produced) possesses a European-styled delicacy, without the fat, power, and unctuosity of a riper California vintage. A dense purple color is accompanied by a pure bouquet of flowers, berries, black fruits, herbs, spice, and a touch of new oak. The wine is medium-bodied, rich, and concentrated with good acidity as well as ripe, physiologically mature tannins. This is one of the most streamlined yet stylish Bryants made to date. RP
