Winemaker Notes
The wine is a full-bodied and powerful expression of the best Napa Valley has to offer. Aromas of blueberry, vanilla, fresh boysenberry with hints of dark chocolate and jasmine black tea entice. More structured and dense than the Buccella Merlot, the Cabernet Sauvignon offers lovely black fruits and fresh flavors throughout the palate with notes of graphite, voluptuous tannin and a finish of black cherry and dark chocolate. This wine has an appealing density, coupled with a sense of elegance that promises enjoyment for many years.
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 86%; Merlot 3%; Cabernet Franc 2%; Petit Verdot 3%; Malbec 6%
Critical Acclaim
All VintagesEven more impressive is the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, a richer, fuller wine with the same structural profile as the 2009, but with deeper, more concentrated black currant, licorice, incense and floral characteristics. Deep, pure, textured and multidimensional, this opaque purple-colored 2010 is sensational. Drink it over the next 20 years. Both wines are multi-AVAs from five vineyards spread across Napa Valley.
Buccella: Latin for "mouthful." Its name evokes the wine's big, bold concentrated layers that wrap a mouth with luxury. The story of Buccella began over a beautiful bottle of 1990 Gaja. It was William and Alicia Deem's first date. They were two individuals with distinct dreams, until their common love of wine started them on a wonderful journey together. Their passion drove them to begin the pursuit of a shared dream in 2002 – quite simply –to make the best wine they could. The Deems savor wine for its ability to make connections, create memories, and nourish the true enjoyment of life. Buccella handcrafts limited production Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Rebekah Wineburg is their winemaker and Celia Welch is consultant winemaker.
