Drink now or cellar for up to 12 years. Decant 1 hour before serving. Buccella was founded in 2002 by Bill and Alicia Deem who fell in love with Napa and Sonoma wine country during their honeymoon. After spending most of their vacations visiting wineries up and down the state, the pair finally took the plunge after Bill had gained valuable experience and knowledge after working a harvest with a local winemaker. The Deems began their venture making wines using other wineries’ facilities and in 2006 they set up their own winery just to the south of the town of Napa. In Latin the word “buccella” means mouthful which Alicia and Bill saw as a fitting name for their project to make wines which are bold and beautiful. Their winemaking philosophy focuses on sourcing top quality grapes from different Californian appellations which are then carefully blended to create an incredibly complex and multi-layered wine. They blind taste the final blend compositions multiple times before bottling to produce the best wines possible. The Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of this noble grape and an excellent wine to savour over the course of a special dinner or gathering of friends. The wine opens with aromas of dark cherries, blackberries and cassis along with hints of dried rose petals and herbs while the first sip reveals a generous full body, firm structure and very long finish. The complex and intense flavour profile also makes this a good choice to cellar for at least a decade more.
