Bryant Family Vineyard 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on their 13-acre estate vineyard on Pritchard Hill. The vineyard climbs from 900 to 1200 feet in elevation as it ascends above the shores of Lake Hennessey. With its various exposures, slopes, aspects, and soils, the complexity of the site yields unusually dynamic wines as a single varietal.

The Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon captures the core of their hillside estate. Layers of vibrant cassis, black cherry, and black currant interplay with savory infusions of graphite, sage, tapenade, and tobacco that unfold in unwavering strata. Texturally, the palate displays profound density and minerality, woven with finessed tannin and backed by a brightness, purity, and freshness that transcends to a seemingly endless and pure finish.

Bettina Proprietary red wine is a Bordeaux-inspired blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Sourced from David Abreu's vineyards, Madrona, and Las Posadas, the wine is co-fermented, bringing the skins of one varietal in contact with the juice of another.

Embodying a brooding and tensioned energy, our Bettina encapsulates the character and essences of the Madrona, Thorevilos and Las Posadas vineyards. Deeply aromatic with notes of blue and black fruits, violets, camphor and crushed rocks, the profile is exquisitely nuanced, persistent and finessed. On the palate, the Bettina has a fleshiness to seamlessly integrate powerful tannins, which effortlessly and pleasurably manifest into an elongated and smooth finish.

DB4 celebrates Bryant Estate's founder, Don Bryant, and his love of the "4" blocks, which form the heart of their estate vineyard. Young, fresh, and approachable, DB4 can be described as the precocious younger sibling of the wines they produce.

A combination of Bryant, Madrona, Thorevilos, and Las Posadas fruit, their DB4 immediately dances from the glass with aromatics of fresh red and blue fruits, rhubarb, and menthol. Very lively and electric, the profile exhibits this freshness and is laced with notes of forest, wet river rocks, and a dusting of cocoa. The palate is concentrated, refined, and elegant, and gives way to a balanced and polished finish.
