Buccella Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
A fantastic small-production Cab from Scarecrow winemaker Celia Welch - try it while this gem is still available! Buccella's second label, Mica, may just be one of the best "second label" wines we've ever tasted in the $50-$100 range. Fresh and vibrant with blue and black berry flavors, the wine is at once concentrated and light on its feet. 90% Cabernet, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. No scores because there's so little on the market, but we give it a "must have." Only 635 cases produced.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a heady, showy wine endowed with port-like richness. Blackberry jam, espresso, licorice, cloves and new French oak saturate the palate. Buccella is one of the most opulent wines in Napa Valley. As always, it packs a serious punch. There is zero subtlety though, and not much in the way of refinement.
