Super nice Merlot. Full of body it’s got a long finish. Highly recommend. Could probably age a couple more years but I don’t know if that will improve the wine.

Fragrant rasberry pie with lots of Buccella vanilla notes. Some whiffs of soil here and there...Well made, not too sweet, yet very Merlot black rasberry..Just shy of being overwhelming. Drink or Hold

Merlot is not a varietal I generally enjoy, but I enjoy Bucella’s expression every time. The 2008 was no exception. Fuller than the typical merlot with a nice long finish. Ready to drink now but appears to have many years of life left in it.

This Merlot is fruit forward but has refined with the age and still has good acidity. A perfume of plum is on the nose and the palette is treated to jammy dark cherries with a pleasant dry finish. Really a very Napa Merlot with quality refinement that would make a Bordeaux lover say: 'hmmm, this is pretty damn good'.

Beautiful. Drinking well now. Will keep, but will not likely improve.
