The proof is in the pudding :
Brady Vineyard 2018 Zinfandel :
96 Points
Dense aromas of black currant, red flowers and charred meat are wrapped in a rocky edge on the nose of this bottling. There is great cohesion to the palate, where rich red fruits are cut by crushed stone flavors, lifted by savory spice and framed by ample acidity and tannins. MATT KETTMANN
Brady Vineyard 2018 Merlot :
91 Points
Dark berry, leather and pie crust aromas show on the nose of this bottling by Don Brady, longtime winemaker at Robert Hall Winery. The palate is wrapped in tightly woven tannins and full of seared beef and dark red-fruit flavors, with a hint of lilac. MATT KETTMANN
Brady Vineyard 2018 Cabernet Franc :
91 Points
Blueberry and blackberry aromas are spiced with black pepper, crushed rock and loamy soil on the nose of this bottling. The palate is tightly wound at first, slowly unfurling flavors of dark fruit, smoked wood and more stone, all wrapped in lingering tannins. MATT KETTMANN
Brady Vineyard 2018 Petite Syrah :
Cellar Selection, 91 Points
This wine begins with dense and dark aromas of blueberry, black currant and violet on the opulent nose. It's tarry on the palate, combining those black fruits with purple flowers and charcoal. Firm tannins ensure a long life. Drink through 2033. MATT KETTMANN
Brady Vineyard 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon :
91 Points
A dense mahogany aroma meets with black currant, olive and peppercorns on the nose of this bottling. The woody character envelops the palate, where flavors of black plum and purple flower are wrapped in oak and cedar. MATT KETTMANN
Brady Vineyard 2018 Chardonnay :
90 Points
Ripe white peach, daffodil, apple blossom, poached pear and plumeria aromas show on the clean and full nose of this bottling. Those floral and white fruit flavors feature strongly on the sip too, but the racy acidity and a linear tension keeps everything in check, finishing on a hint of coconut oil. MATT KETTMANN
