2000 Abreu Thorevilos Proprietary Red - 1st Vintage
Is anyone anywhere in the world making more consistently profound wines than the famous viticulturalist David Abreu and his long-time sidekick and assistant, former chef Brad Grimes? Working from relatively small sites, two of them adjacent to the back streets of St. Helena (the six-acre Cappella Vineyard alongside a cemetery and the home estate of Madrona Ranch at the base of Spring Mountain) to the co-owned vineyard with Ric Forman, the magnificent Thorevilos Vineyard behind the Meadowood Resort. There is also his own 2,000-foot elevation site on Howell Mountain.

These wines are all proprietary reds, probably containing at least 60-65% Cabernet Sauvignon, the rest largely Cabernet Franc with a little Petit Verdot and occasionally tiny amounts of Merlot. They spend a full two years in 100% new French oak and are bottled without any fining or filtration. They are exquisite examples of Bordeaux blends that are true first growths in every sense. So how do I go about describing these wines, which are so exciting and satisfying on both hedonistic and intellectual levels?

92 RP - The first release from the 20-acre Thorevilos Vineyard co-owned by David Abreu and Ric Forman is the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Thorevilos a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. It is a dense sweet black currant-flavored effort with hints of scorched earth cedar and flowers in the background. Fruit-driven mostly blue and black fruits with a Pomerol-like succulence/lushness it should drink well young and evolve for 15+ years. RP
