Brilliant Mistake 2019 'The Poet & The Muse' Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
98 pts
New release from former Screaming Eagle winemaker. Limited.
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another brilliant vintage for the cuvée, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve The Poet & The Muse is a tiny production release that’s a barrel selection of the best in the vintage. Its deep purple hue is followed by awesome aromatics of ripe blue and black fruits, new leather, tobacco, flowery incense, and chocolaty oak. With full-bodied richness, a layered, opulent mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish, it’s a classic, gorgeous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to drink any time over the coming 20-25 years."
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.
