Abreu - Cappella 2007 (750ml) Peloponnese97 Wine Advocate Review Date: 08 2018 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 crme 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

black raspberries and cassis with touches of lavender

It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture

There's dark fruit

grown in the Languedoc-Rousillon

Perfect alcohol

the grape shows itself

Subtlety is the secret inside this wine

lingering on grapefruit

succulent palate displays flavors of lemon meringue pie

bud burst happened relatively early

This genuinely unique offering is an Old World-style "Field Blend" from 120-year-old vines

The wines are always fermented completely dry and always characterized and defined by the Loess and vulcanic soil of the area
