Abreu - Cappella Proprietary Red 2008

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2008 Cappella bursts onto the palate with black cherries, smoke, menthol and licorice. This is a decidedly powerful, tannic Cappella that is going to need quite a bit of bottle age. Layers of fruit build effortlessly to the intense, deeply expressive finish. With time in the glass, the wine’s potential becomes quite evident. In 2008 Cappella is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petit Verdot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 4% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033+."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Blending 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petit Verdot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 4% Merlot, the aromas mix incense, blueberry, fresh brewed espresso, black cherry liqueur and chocolate mint. On the palate, the wine is silky, lush and clean ending with a black cherry, licorice and coffee filled, polished finish."
