The 2010 DB4 bursts from the glass with notes of pomegranate, cassis, perfume, rhubarb, spices and caramel. On the palate the texture is velvety and plush, with a nimble, pleasing acidity and a focused, clean finish. The 2010 DB4 will age beautifully, but you shouldn’t feel guilty about enjoying it in the next few years with a 20-30 minute decant. The 2010 DB4 comprises Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bryant Family Vineyard estate as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot from Abreu vineyard sites.

Bryant Family Vineyard 2010 'DB4' (Red Bordeaux Blend), Napa Valley
Rating: 94
The 2010 DB4 is insanely beautiful. Crushed rocks, plums, cinnamon and licorice jump from the glass from this striking, delineated wine. In 2010, the DB4 has a level of pure energy and vibrancy that is missing in the 2009, most likely because it also includes declassified lots from the BETTINA. This is a great showing from Don Bryant and his team. In most cellars, the DB4 would be the top wine, but here it is the second label. Top flight Napa Cabernet is seldom inexpensive, but this is just about as good as it gets for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Antonio Galloni/The Wine Advocate # 204
