Buccella 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Wine Advocate
The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, which comes from multiple fruit sources in Rutherford, Oakville, Yountville, Coombsville, Oak Knoll and Carneros, was aged in 100% new French oak. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits an opaque purple color, great intensity and a sweet nose of blue and black fruits intermixed with toasty oak, lead pencil shavings and forest floor. Rich, layered and full-bodied with silky tannins, this broad, savory 2008 should drink well for 15 or more years. 95 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #192 (DEC 2010).

The Story
Our story began over a beautiful bottle of 1990 Gaja. It was our first date. Bill and Alicia. We were two individuals with distinct dreams, until our common love of wine started us on this wonderful journey together. We savor wine for its ability to make connections, to start relationships, and to celebrate special occasions... To create memories... To nourish the true enjoyment of life.
Our passion drove us to begin the pursuit of a shared dream - quite simply - making wine we can. Obstacles did not stop us. We work tirelessly to handcraft a wine that properly reflects our shared commitment to people who want to create their own special memories.
It is a privilege to craft a wine that is an important ingredient in shaping your won stories. We invite you to build your own memories as we continue to build our own. From dream to your table... your enjoyment is our passion.
