2007 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon 96 pts(WA)
96pts(WA)The blockbuster 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is more primary, but it does
display enormous fruit concentration, massive body, and wonderful
purity, balance, and elegance. It is an extraordinarily promising 2007
with awesome fruit, depth and richness as well as a long finish. This
offering will be even better with 5-7 years of bottle age, and should
keep for 20+ years.
Buccella, under the guidance of well-known
winemaking consultant Celia Masyczek has fashioned brilliant Cabernet
Sauvignons in both 2006 and 2007. The 2007s are slightly more powerful,
backward wines (alcohol levels range from the upper 14% to low 15%), but
they have enough structure as well as sensational concentration and
depth to support the tannins. Robert PArker Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009
93pts(WS) A dark, rich, exotic style, this is bold and intense, with kirsch, black currant, wild berry and black cherry flavors that are ripe. Full-bodied and well-structured, it ends with a long, persistent finish, where red and black licorice commingle. Drink now through 2019.—James Laube Wine Spectator Insider Vol 6 No26 June 30, 2010
93+(IWC) Good full, saturated ruby. An essence of Napa cabernet on the nose,
with dominant notes of cassis, dark chocolate, minerals and violet.
Juicy but youthfully brooding, with a slightly medicinal quality to the
intense flavors of cassis, bitter chocolate, graphite and menthol. Not a
particularly fleshy style but vibrant and penetrating. This wine's firm
acids and tongue-dusting tannins call for at least five or six years of
patience. This wine, a blend from 10 or 12 different vineyards all over
Napa Valley, was vinified by Mark Herold. Rebecca Weinberg is
currently the winemaker here, with Celia Welch consulting. Stephen Tanzer International Wine Cellar
