David Abreu is a legendary Californian producer of highly distinctive single-vineyard wines in miniscule quantities. The remarkable 2012 Thorevilos is immensely concentrated and full-bodied with an explosive personality. It is a multi-dimensional wine that would rival, and perhaps better, any of the finest Bordeaux blends in the world.
The 2012 Thorevilos is another rich, potent wine in this tasting. There`s plenty of depth and persistence, but as with the Madrona Ranch, I wish there was a bit more freshness in the aromatics, as the oak imprint is pretty strong. I would prefer to drink this over the next decade or so. - Antonio Galloni - 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. - The 2012 Thorevilos is another rich, potent wine in this tasting.

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.
