Wine Advocate, 99 Points 

“Teasing the taster with a possible three-digit perfection is the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill. This beauty shows lots of creme de cassis, blueberry liqueur, spring flower and forest floor notes in an opulent, full-bodied, powerful, dense, rich style buttressed by significant ripe tannins and decent acidity. Again, the striking purity and singular character of this Bryant Cabernet Sauvignon oozes potential as well as pedigree. This spectacular, young Cabernet should turn out to be one of the all-time great Bryant Cabernet Sauvignons, rivaling their 1997, but slightly more structured. Forget this one for 3-4 years and drink it over the following three decades.” 

Vinous, 95 Points 

“Bright, full red-ruby. Deep, sexy, slightly gamey aromas of black raspberry, sage, truffle, black olive and dark chocolate, plus a suggestion of warm mixed nuts. As plump, silky and sweet as a Pomerol on entry, then thick and full in the middle palate, with sexy flavors of black raspberry, mocha, savory herbs and truffle. As large-scaled and mouthfilling as this is, it also boasts a saline complexity and good inner-mouth tension… Finishes with substantial fine-grained, fully buffered tannins. This Cabernet may yet equal or surpass its 2009 predecessor.” 

Wine Spectator, 95 Points 

“The seductive oak has a smooth vanilla bean edge, leading to a rich yet elegant core of spicy berry, mineral, mocha, gravelly earth and road tar. Most impressive on the finish, where the flavors retain their graceful balance and end with a long, persistent finish.”
