1st time EVER offered,super SUPER CULT cab from Bryant Family and Bettina Bryant meritage

THE PRIDE AND JOY OF A BEAUTIFUL WINE CELLAR:

Great news, if you want some of the very best of what is out there. Both BRYANT have not been in our market before and were only available-by the bottle-on a  LONG waitlist from the winery's private club, quantities made are TINY.  Both are BEYOND what we call cult cabs.

 

We have been allocated 4 cases of the Bettina Bryant and 3 cases of the Bryant family. All are 6 pack cases and are currently in Austin, but will be on the way soon.

 

2013 Bettina Bryant Proprietary Red                        $749 a bottle

97 pts James Suckling

There's a phenomenal nose to this wine with crushed berry, wet earth, wet slate and hints of flowers. Full body with a chewy tannic structure, yet soft and polished. Powerful and rich. Muscular and toned. Has form. Slightly austere tannins. This needs at least four to seven years of bottle age. The high percentage of merlot from Howell Mountain gives this wine a real edge and beauty. A blend of 62.3% cabernet sauvignon, 30.2% merlot and 7.5% petit verdot. Try in 2020.

 

2013 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon                $879 a bottle     

96 pts James Suckling

The purity of fruit here is terrific with licorice, black currant and oyster shell. Blackberry too. Full body. The finish is overwhelming with such great intensity and grip. High-tensioned austerity. Energetic and intense. Tannins are austere. Drink in 2021.
