The score for 2008 Abreu Vineyards Cappella Napa Valley is 96 points from Vinous and the tasting note - Abreu’s 2008 Cappella is in a gorgeous spot for drinking now, as the aromatics are starting to show the first signs of early maturity. Espresso, mocha, black cherry and leather notes give the wine its dark, somewhat brooding character. The 2008 is an especially somber wine with notable depth. Heavy torrefaction and grilled herb notes give the wine its attractive aromatic top notes and a Graves-like savoriness that is quite attractive.
