Tasting notes
A great introduction to the vintage, the 2009 DB4 emerges from the glass with juicy dark cherries, flowers and sweet spices. The supple radiance and inviting personality typical of the Bryant 2009s come through beautifully. This is a fabulous wine to drink now and over the next decade-plus. The 2009 DB 4 has always been sexy, but today it is even more harmonious than it was last year.

A great introduction to the vintage, the 2009 DB4 emerges from the glass with juicy dark cherries, flowers and sweet spices.

The 2009 DB 4 has always been sexy, but today it is even more harmonious than it was last year. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. Perched on Pritchard Hill above the shores of Lake Hennessey, Bryant is without question one of the most spectacular vineyards in Napa Valley. I don’t see any reason why the Cabernets that emerge from this property shouldn’t be among the top 5-10 wines in the valley each and every year, but continuity is the key to making that happen. Following the departure of Helen Turley in 2002, Bryant has employed Philippe Melka, Mark Aubert, Ross Wallace, Helen Keplinger and now Todd Alexander, who took over in October 2012. Tel.
