Community Tasting Note

Ruby99 Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 8, 2023 - Dark burgundy color - a bit lighter at the edge
Nose is rich black cherry with perhaps a hint of fig
The palate is potent black cherry and black raspberry with a peppery backbone that remains with you for at least 30 seconds. Despite the pepper and a lovely richness, the wine is elegant. There is nothing out of place
There is still tannin here and given the slightly spicy finish I think this wine may be better in 5 years - at least in our relatively cool cellar.
We have been drinking our 96s - which I love - and saving these. I have a slight preference for the 96 right now but this is just a 1/2 point behind.
There are a dozen or so pedigreed California cabernets in this lofty price range. We've had 4 different vintages of this wine and Bryant always delivers. I put them in the top echelon of this group
