Bucella 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Buccella 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of Napa Valley’s cooler southern vineyards, offering a wine of remarkable depth and elegance. It opens with a luxurious nose of red plum, raspberry, and cocoa powder, interwoven with darker notes of blueberry and creamy vanilla. On the palate, the wine reveals layers of ripe blackberry, juicy raspberry, and mocha, accented by hints of sweet cigar box and crushed stone minerality. The texture is rich and full-bodied, supported by finely grained tannins that lend structure and a vibrant energy. Crafted from a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, and 3% Merlot, and aged for 21 months in 80% new French oak, it delivers immediate pleasure while promising graceful aging over the next two decades. This vintage earned a stellar 94-point rating from James Suckling, who praised its blackberry, blackcurrant, and raspberry character, along with its chewy finish and elegant austerity.
