The 2012 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.

100 pts - Wine Advocate

Once again, the 2012 Thorevilos struts its enormous potential. A deep purple color is accompanied by wonderfully sweet blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with notes of licorice, spring flowers and forest floor. Dense, full-bodied and multidimensional, this killer wine is about as good as any blend of Bordeaux varietals can be. Given the vintage’s precociousness, soft tannins and low acidity, this sensational 2012 should drink well for 25-30 years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (31-10-2013)

98 pts - Vinous

The 2012 Thorevilos is deep, powerful and explosive, with massive tannins and structure that dominate. This is the most forbidding of Abreu's 2012s, so it should be cellared for at least a handful of years. All the classic Thorevilos signatures are present though. Hints of mocha, dark chocolate, espresso, crème de cassis and blackberry jam open up, but only gradually. I don't recall ever seeing the Thorevilos being this imposing.- Antonio Galloni (10/2015)
