2012 Buccella Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

“What a glorious statement for Cabernet Sauvignon, Buccella’s 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has an opaque purple color, a beautiful nose of forest floor, white flowers, blueberry and black raspberry, along with a telltale cassis and subtle background oak. Full-bodied, rich and multi-dimensional, this is fabulous 2012 that’s just coming into its own. Look for this wine to drink well young, as it already is, and evolve for 20-25 years. (RP)” (12/2015)

“High-toned aromas of ripe berries, plums and flowers suggests a fruit-forward style, but this shows design and finesse. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and intense finish. Flamboyant and sexy with form.” (07/2015)

“Buccella's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe and forward, with plenty of the red-toned and floral notes that are typical of the vintage. Medium in body and gracious for this wine, the 2012 will drink well with minimal cellaring. (AG)” (08/2017)
