2009 Abreu Thorevilos Cabernet

The 2009 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.
