Product details
Buccella Cuvée Katrina Eileen Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a limited-production Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon named in honor of the founders' first-born daughter, Katrina Eileen. Crafted exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grown primarily in a low-yielding vineyard on the western hills of Yountville, this special cuvée reflects the purity and character associated with both its namesake and its exceptional vineyard source. Founded by Alicia and Bill Buccella, Buccella is recognized for producing meticulously crafted Napa Valley expressions that emphasize vineyard identity, balance, and elegance. The 2013 vintage showcases the concentration and depth achieved through carefully managed vineyards and selective fruit sourcing, offering a classic expression of Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon with remarkable refinement and structure.
On the palate, Buccella Cuvée Katrina Eileen Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 presents concentrated notes of blackberry, cassis, espresso, and cigar box, supported by velvety tannins and a full-bodied structure that leads to a long, persistent finish. The expressive aroma mirrors its rich fruit character while maintaining exceptional balance and depth. Simple food pairing suggestions include grilled ribeye, beef tenderloin, roasted lamb, braised short ribs, aged hard cheeses, or wild mushroom dishes, whose rich, savory flavors complement its structured profile and enduring finish.
