Coming from an iconic vineyard in Rutherford, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon G3 is all varietal and spent 20 months in French oak. It's always a darker, full-bodied wine and gives up lots of chocolate covered currants, tobacco, espresso, and herbal notes in a balanced, textured, seamless package. As with all these 2019s from Brilliant Mistake, it's well worth seeking out.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon g3 is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with exuberant blackcurrant cordial and blackberry pie notes, plus hints of wild blueberries and tar, with a waft of bouquet garni. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a firm and grainy texture and compelling savory nuances, finishing long and minerally.
