The 2010 Cappella, ( 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot) reveals a dense purple color, and even greater aromatic and flavor dimensions than the 2009. Notes of sweet creme de cassis, coffee bean, graphite, white chocolate and forest floor are followed by an intense, full-bodied, luxuriously textured wine that has plenty of tannin, but it is sweet and enrobed by sumptuous fruit and glycerin. This fabulous 2010 is one of the superstars of the vintage. It should continue to evolve for 25-30 years.
Producer
Abreu Vineyard
Abreu Vineyards was first created in 1987 by David Abreu, a third generation native of Napa Valley and a renowned viticulturist. He began his career by working summers at Inglenook and Caymus, and as time passed, he started focusing on viticulture. In 1980, he created a viticultural firm before starting his own domaine. Working with many of the great Napa Valley producers, like Araujo, Grace Family, Harlan Estate, Bryant Family, Blankiet and Colgin, Abreu greatly grew his experience. His initial release was called Abreu, a Bordeaux blend from the famous Madrona Ranch vineyard (which he established). He followed it up with three additional releases - Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon, Thorevilos and Cappella - all star-studded wines (from separate vineyards) that have received high acclaim from critics particularly Robert Parker. He only produces 240-320 cases per year of each label from a total of 70 acres of vines.
