These are two absolutely gorgeous 2019s from Bryant (the 2019 Bettina is still in barrel). The 2019s build on the 2018s in their nuance and energy. Bryant under the direction of Bettina Bryant and winemaker KK Carothers is a terrific example of the contemporary style of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. There is plenty of textural richness and intensity, but with greater vibrancy than in years past. It's a style that is so well suited to the estate vineyard and the David Abreu sites where Bryant purchases fruit. KK Carothers is one of the most talented and detail oriented winemakers of her generation.

The 2018s are some of the very finest wines I have ever tasted at Bryant. It was winemaker K.K. Carothers' first vintage back at Bryant after a short stint at Adamvs. She certainly made the best of the short time she had with the vineyard that year. One of the developments at Bryant has been a move towards smaller picks, which seems to give the wines an extra degree of precision. Carothers gave the 2018s three days of cold soak followed by pump-overs and aeration twice a day, with punch-downs towards the end of the fermentations. The 2018s spent 25 days on the skins, which is about average for the estate. New oak is around 75% across the board.
