Product Description
JS98 "This is tight and creamy with firm tannins. Extremely long and flavorful red with blackberries and sweet tobacco. Black tea. Dusty and juicy sensation from the tannin. Flavorful finish." JS Jan 2020
JD97 "Beautiful stuff, the 2017 Capella offers a perfumed, complex style with lots of cassis and darker fruits as well as notes of white flowers, toasty oak, and tobacco. Rich and full-bodied, it has a rounded texture and the firmer tannins of the vintage. The balance is spot on, and it’s going to evolve gracefully for decades." JD Jan 2021
RP96+ "The 2017 Cappella Proprietary Red is just as concentrated as the 2016, but it shows even more interesting dark-fruit flavors. The fruit has soaked up any overt oak notes, leaving waves of super ripe cassis and black cherries to wash over the full-bodied palate, finishing long and velvety, with lingering notes of salted licorice."
