Bryant Family Vineyard - Bettina Proprietary Red 2018 (1.5L) Terre del VolturnoCritical Acclaim 98 points James Suckling Very precise, focused aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and dark chocolate with violet and light tar undertones. Floral. Full bodied, yet so manicured and refined with tannins that are polished and slightly dusty. Vibrant energy in the tannins, instead of just raw power. Some minerality. Very long finish. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot,, 13% petit verdot, and 4% cabernet franc. Try after 2027, but already
harmonious and juicy
brown sugar and toasted oak
Bright aromas of red fruits (strawberry)
such as soil classification
The other part of the cuvée is some whole-bunch fermented Cabernet Sauvignon and a small quantity of unknown varieties
followed by bursts of juniper berries
With a big nose of sweet maple syrup intermixed with foresty notes
red cherries and touches of licorice and white pepper
this Cuvée was put on the American market for the first time in 1985
Complex notes of cedar and cooking spice mingle elegantly with the abundant fruit
and support a generous structure without heaviness
This wine has open aromatics of cassis
