This wine is evolving beautifully. The 2016 blend is primarily sourced from David Abreu’s Thorevilos vineyard (now Ecotone Vineyard), with the remainder from Bryant Estate. Crafted from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Bettina is described by Robert Parker Wine Advocate as “deep garnet-purple colored with an incredibly complex meaty/earthy nose layered with dried herbs over a captivating core of cassis, resin, warm plums, and blackberries, plus a hint of mossy bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is firm, grainy, and savory, with a long, lingering finish.”

Bryant Estate stands as a Napa Valley icon, renowned for its excellence and dedication to quality. From its esteemed Pritchard Hill vineyard to its legacy of sought-after wines, it remains a benchmark of greatness. Now debuting its 30th vintage—2022—it continues to captivate collectors, proving that true excellence is a lasting legacy.

Bettina Bryant has been the driving force behind this evolution, honoring the foundation her late husband, Don, built while elevating Bryant Estate to new heights of consistency and quality—both in the vineyard and in the bottle. One of her most impactful decisions was bringing back former assistant winemaker KK Carothers, entrusting her with the independence and support to lead the winemaking team. Since the 2019 vintage, the wines have become even more precise, expressive, and a true reflection of this special corner of Napa Valley. Below are the new releases available today.
