This is the 2018 Acappella Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Corison Winery in St. Helena, California.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, spice, black pepper, pencil shavings and earth.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, licorice, vanilla, chocolate, spice, mint, black pepper, cedar and earth.

This is a full bodied wine with a smooth supple mouthfeel medium + acidity and a medium + fine mouthcoating tannins and leaves you with a long dark fruit crushed stone finish. The weekend looks to be very nice and wish you all good health. Please stay safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 4 years ago

100% complete! First eval of this natural build from renown vintner Jason Murray. 2017 gave him abundant ripeness and his balance of oak and ml is world class. Chard is like singing Acappella... can’t hide what’s not there.  — 5 years ago

In a blind tasting you'd never spot this at 15 yrs old. Impeccable concentration and balance. Acids and tannins refreshing and pleasing. This thing has energy and verve. A stupendous wine. Wow. The day I was offered this at the winery I should have bought much more. We shall not see its like again. — 11 years ago

I could smell this one for days - spice box, toasted oak, blueberry, wet slate/minerals, and huckleberries. Very unique and incredibly silky smooth for a 2012. Purple cork always excites me especially from Howell. Thanks for the recommendation @Carl Fischer @Shay Aldriedge . Had a curve ball thrown at me - only 2011s on the menu. Almost went with the 09 Cade but asked if other bottles and vintages in stock - scored a 2012! Superb!! But from your night @Carl Fischer 2011 would have been just fine! Enjoyed after Straight No Chaser 🎅🏻🎄🎁 and vaguely remember @Daryl Calhoun mentioning his acappella days - ha! #chriscarpenterisgod — 9 years ago
