1998 Bryant Family Vineyard – Pritchard Hill Cult Cabernet

The 1998 Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a rare expression from one of Napa Valley’s most iconic cult wineries. Produced from a vineyard site perched high on Pritchard Hill, this wine exemplifies the depth, intensity, and elegance that has established Bryant Family as a cornerstone of California Cult Wines.

Tasting Notes

Rich aromas of black cherry, dark plum, and cedarwood intermingle with notes of graphite, tobacco leaf, and lavender. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, offering layers of cassis, spice, and hints of mocha. The finish is long and persistent, supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The estate vineyard on Pritchard Hill is planted exclusively to **Cabernet Sauvignon**, benefitting from rocky, volcanic soils and a hillside exposure that provides excellent drainage and concentration. The 1998 vintage was aged for nearly two years in 100% new French oak barrels, resulting in structure, depth, and cellar longevity.

Investment & Collectibility

The 1998 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon is a coveted cult bottling with a loyal following among collectors worldwide. Limited production and global demand continue to elevate its status on the secondary market, making it a highly desirable addition to any serious collection. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **1998 vintage** in Napa Valley was cooler and more challenging than surrounding years, producing wines of classic restraint and elegance. Today, the 1998 Bryant Family Cabernet shows remarkable aromatic complexity and evolved finesse, a testament to its pedigree and longevity.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Rating(94-96)Atypically opaque purple, thick, and juicy for this vintage, the 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill exhibits gobs of black currant/blueberry fruit interspersed with an underpinning of minerals, floral scents, and that exquisite blueberry liqueur aroma that is so much a part of this wine. Extremely full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with exceptional purity and symmetry, this exotic, powerful yet gloriously rich wine will be delicious upon release, and will age nicely for 15-20 years. Make no doubt about it, this is one of the world's most majestic Cabernet Sauvignons. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: January 01, 2000. Drinking window: null - 2020.

Vinous

Rating (94+)Opaque dark ruby. Exotically ripe nose hints at berries; still some apple and spearmint traces of malic acidity. Already shows a superbly layered texture and great richness and sweetness for the vintage. Really opens out on the aftertaste, which features big, chewy, thoroughly ripe tannins. I can't imagine that many '98 cabernets will equal this! Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer, Issue date: May , 1999. Drinking window: N/A.
