Abreu

Brad Grimes showed me an extraordinary range of wines during my most recent visit. Grimes’ career in wine began in the early 2000s, when the prevailing style in Napa Valley was very different from today, so it has been interesting to watch the slow yet deliberate move towards a more refined style here. Grimes doesn’t say much, but he doesn’t need to. The wines say it all. Abreu fans will want to note that beginning in 2019 Thorevilos is made from a new site not too far away from the original vineyard. It’s a site Abreu planted years ago and is in the process of redeveloping. It will be fascinating where Thorevilos 2.0 goes. Knowing the drive Abreu and Grimes share, I am betting they will look to surpass their previous efforts. Last, but certainly not least, the 2018 Rothwell Hyde is fabulous and a great choice for readers who choose not to splurge on the more expensive wines in this lineup.
