but promising nose of mulberries

I asked the winemaking team what the final blend was for the 2002 Private Reserve

lightly tannic effort will be even better with 1-2 years of bottle age and will keep for 15-20 years

The tannin is sweet and well-integrated

Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet - 2001 (750ml) Barbera but promising nose of mulberriesUndeniably ripe and fleshy, with a pretty scent of cedary oak leading to a supple core of currant and red cherry flavors that are fine and persistent on the finish. Needs time to shed its fine grained tannins. The flavors are long and persistent on the finish, though it shows simpler than it did from barrel. Drink now through 2012. 1,000 cases made.
