  October 25, 2022 - Very deep, murky ruby fading to a light garnet rim. The better of two bottles opened tonight, to me this almost seems redolent of Barossa, offering deeply pitched aromas of blackberry preserves, Chambord, dried mint, eucalyptus and toasty oak. Full bodied and mouthfilling on the palate with medium acidity and deep, sweet fruit flavors. This has an obvious appeal but it leans heavily on its weight. I wouldn't want more than a couple ounces of it.

  June 27, 2022 - Saturday get-together: Though this showed some tertiary notes that more than hinted to the wine’s age, they certainly added to the layered complexity of the flavor profile of this wine. Black and red raspberry, Red and black currant, cherry, smashed plum in the sun, cassis, dry tobacco, cedar, tilled soil, and fungi notes all intermingle in a harmonious effort, forming a profile that is on the downswing on evolution in terms of freshness and tension, but completely resolved in balanced flavorings and overall execution. This is a smoking jacket kind of wine!
  
  Thank you Dave_C for bringing some class to the party! :)

  June 25, 2022 - New friends, new wines in Novato: I agree with WineBurrowingWombat on his notes. First time trying a Bryant for me and it did not disappoint. Lovely notes of strawberries and cherries with some hints of mushrooms and soil. Just gorgeous, but was outshown a bit tonight by others in the lineup.

  June 25, 2022 - An evening with good food, great people and amazing wine (Where the silence is longed for): Very floral aromas like red and pink flowers with subtle red fruits. On the palate you get similar red fruits with just a touch of ripeness, a light streak of graphite, earthy and mineral notes. This is starting to hit some savory notes, more on the fermented side. If you like your poison like me with a bit more fruit, you may want to consider drinking soon, not that it's going to be completely gone within 4-5 years but the tertiary notes might start taking over soon.
