DB4 Red Blend 2014 Bryant Estate

Description

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (91)

he 2014 Proprietary DB4 showed loads of black cherry, a good bit of wood spice, earth, and a medium to full body. This wine has Pomerol lushness, but also aromatics reminiscent of a great grand cru red Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits. It is perfumed, medium-bodied and beautifully textured and pure.

James Suckling (96)

Blackberry, mushroom and floral aromas follow through to a medium body and firm and round tannins that are tight and focused. A clarity and focus to the wine. Tension and energy.

Vinous (93)

The 2014 DB4 is an exceptional wine. Dark and mysterious, with silky, polished tannins, the 2014 DB4 will give readers a very good look at the quality level at Bryant this year. Succulent red cherry, plum, flowers, mint and lavender grace the palate in a very pretty, delicate wine endowed with striking purity and finesse. The DB4 may very well be the single greatest value in high-end Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard sites are: Bryant, Madrona Ranch, Thorevilos and Abreu Las Posadas. It just doesn’t get better than that. The 2014 probably doesn’t have the structure to age for more than a decade or so, but it is absolutely delicious today.
