Abreu Howell Mountain 2010 is a single-vineyard, Bordeaux-style red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Abreu Vineyards is one of the foundational wineries of the Napa Valley. Owner David Abreu was responsible for raising the standards of viticulture in Napa during 1980s and 1990s, when he consulted for now-iconic labels as Screaming eagle, Staglin Family Vineyards and Harlan Estate. This bottling is the 2010 vintage from Howell Mountain – now labelled as Las Posadas. It is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec and 5% Merlot. "The 2010 Howell Mountain is simply magnificent. Inky, deep, and full-bodied to the core, the 2010 blasts out of the glass with graphite, pencil shavings, menthol, melted road tar, plum, cassis and liquorice notes. The 2010 is an exciting, viscerally thrilling wine that takes hold of the sense and never lets up. Today, it is firing on all cylinders. The Howell Mountain is the only Abreu wine that incorporates Malbec, a variety that seems to work magic here." 100 points, Vinous, 2013

Abreu

Abreu

David Abreu established his eponymous winery in the 1980s, purchasing the Madrona Ranch and converting it into a mix of farmland and vineyards. The Thorevilos and Capella vineyards were added a few years later and Las Posadas, a Howell Mountain vineyard, was added to the estate's holdings in the year 2000. The result is something quite unique in Napa - a collection of distinct sites all producing world class, terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Winemaker for the last 20 years is former chef turned viticulturist Brad Grimes. Brad keeps the focus of the estate firmly set on the founder's original goal - to emulate the finest wines of Pauillac and Margaux. Based on the long waiting list and never-ended near-perfect critic scores, he's hit a home run in that department.
