96 pts                                                                                               New release from former Screaming Eagle winemaker. Limited. 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." previous vintage 95 Points Robert Parker: 'A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored Brilliant Mistake Cabernet Sauvignon is redolent of exotic spices, vanilla pod and chocolate box, over a core of warm cassis and blackberries, plus a fragrant waft of violets. The full-bodied, rich, soft and seductive palate has a lively backbone and tons of energy in the long finish." For Maayan Koschitzky making wine was a fine idea at the time, but now it's just a Brilliant Mistake. Now, he didn't stumble into this brilliance, he spent a decade honing his skills in his native Israel before coming to the states to work as the winemaker for Screaming Eagle. A decade later, as Director of Winemaking for Atelier Melka he pushes the buttons on several projects. Brilliant Mistake is 100% Cabernet and aged for 21 months in 65% new oak. Produced in tiny quantities (300 cases) Jeb Dunnuck raves that this wine "reveals pretty, nuanced notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil, spice box, and flowers." A wine that will last a couple of decades, don't miss out on its beauty, purity and expressiveness.
