The 2008 Abreu Thorevilos Cabernet 750 ml is from the Napa Valley region of California. After the success of the Madrona Ranch launch, David Abreu planted the 22 acre Thorevilos vineyard in 1990. With volcanic rock and ash with red clay soils, the wines show more tobacco and smoke flavors than Abreu's other vineyards. Usually a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30-40% Cabernet Franc and the remainder Petit Verdot and Merlot, the Thorevilos wines are rich and elegant, just as winemaker, Brad Grimes, likes to make them.

98 pts - Wine Advocate

As outstanding as all the Abreu wines are, if I had to choose one that stands apart from the others it would be Thorevilos. The 2008 Thorevilos is the most complete and deeply satisfying of Abreu’s 2008s because the balance of fruit and structure is so impeccable. The 2008 literally explodes onto the palate with masses of dark fruit, tar, licorice and smoke. There is a fleshiness and depth of the fruit here that separates the Thorevilos from the other 2008s. Layers of fruit build towards the massive, masculine finish. In 2008 Thorevilos is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038. - RP 12/2011

The 2008 Thorevilos is the one wine in this tasting that still needs time. Then again, that is Thorevilos. Dense, powerful and explosive, the 2008 packs a huge punch. Crème de cassis, blueberry jam, violet, lavender, chocolate and spice all meld together in dense, super-concentrated wine endowed with serious intensity. Vivid and outrageously beautiful, the 2008 Thorevilos dazzles today. Readers lucky enough to own it are in for a real treat. In 2008 Thorevilos is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Verdot.- Antonio Galloni (05/2018)
