Buccella Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
A fantastic small-production Cabernet - try it while this gem is still available! 94 Points James Suckling: "Aromas of cassis and ripe black cherries with black licorice, toasted cedar and tobacco. Medium-bodied, textured and silky with polished and fine-grained tannins. Smooth and velvety with a deep dark-fruited core. Try from 2026." The Buccella 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from small vineyards located mainly in the mid to southern parts (cooler regions) of Napa Valley, which only adds multiple layers and nuances that showcase the diversity of what Napa Valley has to offer. An enticing nose of luxurious red fruit, plum and raspberry leaps from the glass. Complemented by darker notes of coco powder, blueberry and creamy vanilla makes this a multifaceted wine. The signature crimson dark red color makes this a visually stunning wine. Silky smooth tannins enhance the wine's vibrancy and energy allowing immediate pleasure upon release but assure the potential for the development of aged complexity for the next 20+ years. 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 3% Merlot

First time trying this after being enthralled with the second wine; Mica. Although 2020 was a gnarly vintage in Napa, I rolled the dice with this… Nose displays scorched earth, sandalwood and rich dark fruit. Palate is plush, dense and textured. Plum compote and grainy tannins provide the classic Napa signature. Nice acidity brings up the rear. Relative to Mica, based on this showing, I wouldn’t spend 2.5 x for this over Mica. I know it’s a poor comparison due to the vintage, but I didn’t see any noticeable improvement worth going broke for. Excellent experience but no. Mo rated this 92 and he’s clearly on another planet right now
