?The 2013 Brio is dark, pliant and wonderfully expressive today. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, dark chocolate, new leather, French oak and open-knit aromatics are some of the signatures. Far from a second wine, the Brio is rich and exuberant, with plenty of vintage signatures and tons of personality. This is a terrific wine in a great Napa Valley vintage. (Antonio Galloni, ) ?

?The least expensive wine [from Brand Napa Valley] is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Brio Estate, which is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc blend. I suspect, in essence, that this is their second wine, although there was no admission to that. It is a more evolved, faster-aging style of wine with notes of spice box, cedar wood, incense, forest floor, tobacco leaf and blackcurrants. It is Bordeaux-like, but rich, fleshy and medium to full-bodied. This wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 12-15 years. (Robert Parker)? (10/2015)
