Barrett & Barrett Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2021

100 Points | CWA
“A majestic new release from one of Napa Valley’s most revered Cabernet families, Barrett & Barrett captures the grandeur, polish, and sensual depth that place the estate’s flagship bottling in the conversation with Napa’s own First Growth wines. The bouquet is lavish and beautifully layered, unfurling with black cherry, crème de cassis, currant, baking spice, graphite, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and truffle. On the palate, the wine is sumptuous and regal, with waves of dark fruit wrapped in cashmere-like tannins, accented by savory herbs, polished leather, and a monumentally long finish. Already seductive after decanting, yet built for 10 to 20+ years of graceful evolution, this is a breathtaking cellar treasure from a gifted winemaker whose most celebrated Cult Cabernets have helped define modern Napa luxury. We expect this beauty to merit a 99-point or possible triple-digit rating as it continues to evolve over the next decade.” - California Wine Advisors (Spring, 2026)
