Description
Bryant Family, Pritchard, Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
Napa
WA 99
"...displaying astonishing levels of black fruits (the usual suspects - blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and cassis), phenomenal concentration, and virtually perfect balance and equilibrium. ... I recently wrote an article in Food and Wine magazine itemizing the characteristics of a great wine. ... This wine satisfies every one of those requirements. I often wonder if I get too excited about wines such as this. Yet time is on their side. I truly believe that in 20, 40, or 60 years, when the history of what appears to be a golden age for California wines is analyzed, these wines, and the work of their winemaker, will be even more admired and appreciated by future generations than they are today."
