'94 Bryant Family Vineyard

[Jerry D Mead]

Actually, I'm giving both wines pretty good numbers myself...what I meant is that Parker is known for going for big, very rich, powerful red wines and these (especially the Cabernet) fit that description...with a price tag of $60 per.

I also, usually in private conversation, make reference to a wine being a "Dan Berger" or "Bob Thompson" wine...which indicates lots of identifiable fruit and no, or barely, discernable oak.

Everyone has their own personal taste preferences. I personally like oak and as I often say, "If God intended Chardonnay to taste like grapes, He wouldn't have invented oak trees."
