Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvee Katrina Eileen 2013

This enchanting new release reminds us why we fell in love with Napa Cabernet decades ago; launching forth with a soaring bouquet and front palate flavors that include ultra-sumptuous notes of cassis, creamy blueberry, vanilla bean with violet and lavender overtones. A nearly flawless 100% Cabernet, this uber-rare red coats the palate with statuesque proportions of blue, red, and purple fruits with hints of baking spice, creamy vanilla, cocoa and graham cracker from the lavish treatment of new French oak. The crescendo boasts superb finesse with majestic notes of pipe tobacco, and succulent semi-sweet dark fruit for a full minute. Truly an impressive showing for such a young wine that is destined for 100 point perfection in the next 5 – 7 years. Savor every sip now (after decanting) through 2030.
