Brilliant Mistake Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

96 Points Jeb Dunnuck

Gorgeous cassis, chalky minerality, tobacco, and darker chocolate notes all emerge from the Brilliant Mistake 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, classic, layered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Brought up in 80% new barrels, it has ample upfront appeal, yet there's a balanced, classical style here and it will age.
