Abreu Cappella Proprietary Red 2014

Abreu Cappella Proprietary Red 2014 is a powerful yet polished Napa Valley blend from one of St. Helena’s most historic vineyard sites. Sourced from the tiny 2.5-hectare Cappella vineyard, originally planted in 1869 and meticulously replanted by David Abreu, this wine combines deep concentration with remarkable finesse and a distinctly perfumed personality.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the 2014 Cappella shows a deep, dark color that hints at its intensity, with a richly layered profile of blue and black fruit. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering notes of mint, lavender, and dark, almost inky fruit, all wrapped in a beautifully balanced aromatic frame. On the palate, it is silky and surprisingly approachable for the vintage, yet still backed by firm tannins and excellent structure. The wine’s fruit is vivid and dense without feeling heavy, and its balance suggests strong aging potential, even if it is already highly enjoyable now. The Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift, while the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot contribute depth, texture, and grip.

Viininvalmistus
Cappella is one of St. Helena’s oldest vineyards, with roots dating back to 1869. After being cleared and left fallow for nearly two decades, the site was fully replanted under David Abreu’s direction to preserve uniformity and vine health, a careful approach that reflects his perfectionist standards. The vineyard’s small scale and historic pedigree, combined with its exceptional potential, are central to the wine’s identity; however, no detailed information was provided about specific harvest or vinification methods.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a great match for classic Cabernet-style dishes such as grilled ribeye, roast lamb, braised short ribs, or venison. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and earthy mushroom dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
