Bressler
St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
We always have room in our cellar for Bressler. This wine displays structure on the nose and palate. Nice, subtle oak with black fruits on the nose. Eight years in, Iām a little surprised that the palate is still firm, and lacks complete integration. Still, it presents fruitcake, spice box and coffee notes. Bold tannins with delicate sweetness and bright acidity. Needs a touch more time to relax, but all the right components are present.

Dec 31st, 2016Pure domination in a glass!
Complex, multi-layered nose. The palette is immense, without being overbearing. Elements of kirsch, coffee and rich black fruits float on the palette. In its perfect drinking window now. Tannins, acid and oak treatment are in harmony. Overall, very impressive.
Thank you, @Martin G Rivard. Do you have a stake in Bressler??? š¤

Manages to be full-bodied yet elegant. Great fruit, ample structure, and pleasantly rounded tannins. This is just at the beginning of its peak, for my palate, and should be terrific for at least the next 4-5 years.
