What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon's production was only 300 cases. It exhibits great fruit, wonderful opulence, low acidity, and plenty of character as well as appeal. It, too, can be drunk now and over the next decade or so. Kudos to proprietors Bill and ... Robert Parker. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2003 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Rating: 95/100 - As reviewed by Vinfolio in Issue 42 In the glass, the wine is intense, brooding, and ruby-black in color. The nose is crammed with dark cherry, smoky blue fruits, marzipan, and a little sea salt. Three hours in the decanter and glass barely show this wine's potential. It is bold and intense on the palate with flavors of plum, macerated black cherry, sweet nectarine, and cassis, with blackberry jam on the finish. This wine is well poised for beautiful drinking but will require patience. The concentration is there; the wine is massive.
