Donald
L. Bryant, Jr. has made his label synonymous with the prized terrior of
Pritchard Hill. His land overlooks Lake Hennessey and St. Helena, and
Bryant is world-renowned for his rich, signature style California
Cabernet. Optimal microclimate conditions prevail at this hillside
vineyard, which receives cooling western winds combined with 60% morning
sun and 40% afternoon sun in the summer months. The modern, gravity-fed
winery designed by the acclaimed architect Gyo Obata in 2002, aims for
total quality control of the winemaking process. Complete with its own
special bottling room and custom-made equipment, the wine team can
bottle wines on the day the winemaker judges to be most appropriate. The
wine is then placed in the attached 8,000 sq. ft. cave to ensure proper
aging of the wine until it is shipped to the customer.
Michel Rolland is the consulting oenologist. Vineyard Manager David Abreu skillfully maintains the vineyard. Social Media Bryant Family Facebook
