this was a splurge for me at around $60 USD. American Cabs used to be my go-to with Beringer Knights Valley being an always-buy when I\u2019m looking for a solid wine and Robert Mondavi Cabernet Reserve being a must drink whenever I\u2019m not paying the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, I went back to my old ways and bought 12 bottles of random American Cabs that I had not had before. 10% off when I buy 12 bottles and most were $10-$20 range\u2026this was indeed a big splurge.<\/p>\n<p>I opened it last night, allowed my glass to sit for half an hour. The wine was poured at 58F from the cellar after being stored for a crazy long 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>Here are notes from the vineyard site for their 2011 vintage:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The 2011 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful interplay between the lively acidity that is the hallmark of the vintage and the density and lushness that Buccella wines represent. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, and black plum mingle with notes of molasses, cocoa, and baking spices. The palate showcases a velvet texture, coffee and dark chocolate flavors, and a rich finish of black fruit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Oakville, Yountville, Stag\u2019s Leap, Coombsville fruit\u2028<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Whole berry fermented\u2028<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Aged 22 months in 85% new French oak\u2028<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Bottled unfiltered and unfined\u2028<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Alcohol 14.2%<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Cabernet Sauvignon 92%<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Cabernet Franc 5%<\/span><br style=\"color: #757570; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 25px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\">Malbec 3%<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; color: #999999; font-size: 10px;\"><em>842 cases produced<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The 2010, I don\u2019t see a lot of info online but the main take-away is that this is the most jammy like fresh blackberry jam I\u2019ve ever had. It\u2019s intense, almost sweet with fruit. The first sip after pouring was extremely high in tannins and the acidity had me regretting the purchase. After some time, that faded and the fruit really shined. I was sipping on this slowly for a few hours before re-corking the bottle for a part 2 this evening.<\/p>\n<p>If you see this one, I\u2019d grab a bottle, lay it down for 2 years and savor it with foie gras, french bread, walnuts and ch\u00e8vre. It\u2019s a full-bodied savory wine with fruit for days. Zero dryness. Would have again if not for the high price.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;2010 Buccella Mica Cabernet Sauvignon&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/16655956308\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"2010 Buccella Mica Cabernet Sauvignon\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7623\/16655956308_95639eb432_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;2010 Buccella Mica Cabernet Sauvignon&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/16656175180\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"2010 Buccella Mica Cabernet Sauvignon\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"480\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7634\/16656175180_33a62a97e0_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m not a wine expert or a beer expert for that matter but I do drink more and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T02:19:49Z","apple_news_api_id":"93e93423-7346-4aff-b606-2edc02533dab","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T02:19:49Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Ak-k0I3NGSv-2Bi7cAlM9qw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2685","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-reviews","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-Hj","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1884,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2013\/12\/02\/beer-haul-chicago-trip-2013\/","url_meta":{"origin":2685,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Beer Haul: Chicago Trip &#8211; 2013","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"December 2, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"I just got back from Chicago.
