A more slightly restrained example, in large part due to the age. Nose displays cherry blossom and blueberries. Still possesses the grainy tannins and espresso notes on the palette. Oak profile is subtle. Acid is soft and complements the tannins perfectly. I consider this to be on its plateau. Drink over the next 24 months if you prefer a more youthful tasting experience.

Yes, that’s my granddaughter in the background 😍
This wine is so nuanced on the nose and palate. Black fruits and mint on the nose, with strawberry jam and brown sugar. Sweet oak notes extend and expand. Regal tannins provide ample structure. Drink now or cellar for many years. This is gonna stand still and further improve. Impressive.

When you wine and dine on your own time but on someone else's dime then this is worth trying...not lying

Super ripe, yet crunchy black fruit and no shortage of vanilla. Modest but fresh finish.

2012 mica by buccella. I really like this wine. A fraction of the cost of buccella but doesn't miss a step. It tastes luxurious. Big ripe cherry, liquor and black currants

Cool squatty bottle but the wine was just ok for the asking price.

Delicious. Tried this at the Lauber Spring Tasting. Just can't seem to justify the pricetag.

At 5 years old, this bold Cab has become smooth and a delight to drink. Not overly complex. September 2024.
