Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Cappella Proprietary Red has gregarious scents of blueberry compote, preserved plums and blackberry with a gorgeous exotic spice undercurrent of star anise, cassia and cardamom with wafts of cigar box and smoked meats. The palate is full-bodied, firm and grainy with a gorgeous core of generous black fruit preserves and loads of spicy accents, finishing long and layered.

The 2014 Cappella is gorgeous. Dark and mysterious in its shading, the 2014 is quite a bit darker and deeper than it usually is, with an almost somber tonality to its fruit and overall feel. Mocha, plum and spice develop in the glass, but the 2014 is really about texture at this stage. I love the breadth and expansiveness here. The 2014 is one of the most alluring Cappella's I can remember tasting.
