2009 Bryant Family: Cult Cabernet Sauvignon
“Some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignons Napa Valley has ever produced.” – Robert Parker
When collectors talk about cult Cabernet, one name always rises to the top: Bryant Family Vineyard. Perched high on the volcanic slopes of Napa’s famed Pritchard Hill, overlooking Lake Hennessey, Bryant Family has set the gold standard for power, polish, and pedigree since the 1990s.
A Vintage That Defines Perfection
The 2009 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon captures everything that makes this estate legendary—intensity, precision, and seamless balance.
In 2009, Mark Aubert - the same winemaking genius behind California’s most sought-after Chardonnays - was at the helm. The result? A wine of breathtaking harmony that Parker himself dubbed “one of the candidates for wine of the vintage.”
This Cabernet roars from the glass with blueberry pie, crème de cassis, and blackberry jam, accented by mocha, lavender, and exotic spice. On the palate, it’s all finesse and power—silky tannins, vibrant sweet fruit, and a finish that glides on for over 60 seconds. Every sip feels like pure Napa luxury.
