Deep garnet in color with a touch of purple, the 2007 Cappella Proprietary Red needs just a little coaxing to begin, but it soon opens out with flamboyant crème de cassis, mocha, smoked game, menthol and underbrush notes with suggestions of Chinese five spice and potpourri. Full-bodied, richly fruited and oh-so-spicy in the mouth, the flavors are just starting to move into tertiary characters, supported by plush yet firm tannins and lovely freshness, finishing with great length.

The 2007 Cappella is starting to show the first signs of aromatic nuance and complexity. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, mocha, spice and leather open up nicely in the glass. Although an attractive wine, the 2007 is also a reminder of how far Cappella has come in just the last few years. I would prefer to drink the 2007 sooner rather than later, as there appears to be limited upside from further cellaring. This is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot, and 8% Merlot. (AG)
