Buccella "Mica" Cabernet 2020

Buccella's Mica is a fantastic small-production Cab from Scarecrow winemaker Celia Welch - try it while this gem is still available.

Buccella's second label, Mica, may just be one of the best "second label" wines we've ever tasted. Fresh and vibrant with blue and black berry flavors, the wine is at once concentrated and light on its feet. 90% Cabernet, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. No scores because there's so little on the market, but we give it a "must have." Only 635 cases produced.

Mica stitches together fruit from Oakville, Yountville, St Helena, and Coombsville in a way that embellishes the best qualities from each iconic AVA, without losing sight of balance. A generous and concentrated wine with black cherry and blackberry aromas with layers of dark chocolate, tobacco and licorice. The palate is fresh and vibrant with lush and smooth tannins and flavors of dark chocolate, fresh herbs and tobacco.
