I'm having a moment with California Rhones right now - incredible flavors and great QPRs - and this one is topping my list. Red fruits and spice dominate the palate, and the signature plush/smooth Buccella mouthfeel is there. This is so delicious and I'm really sad this is my last bottle. This is in a prefect drinking window - popped and poured. Just WOW on this one.

Really love that more California winemakers are putting their spin on Rhones - like this delicious blend by Rebekah and Celia.

A California version of a Rhone. More fruit and less spice than a true Rhone but still quite good!

I got this on allocation a couple years ago. This is the first time that I tasted it. Very nice juice!
