Bryant Family Vineyard 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L

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.

Robert Parker - 97-99 Points

"Tasted as the final blend, which was scheduled to be bottled in December 2023, 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."

Antonio Galloni - 94-97 Points

"Tasted from a base blend, 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. "
