I wish I had taken some pictures or shot a video when I stopped by at Abreu during the 2011 harvest. Unfortunately words will have to do. After a brutal growing season in which yields in the vineyards were reduced by poor flowering, cold weather, rain and botrytis, the work done on the sorting table was at least as Draconian. The amount of less than perfect berries and other stuff that ended up in the trash was far more than what went into the crushed, and winemaker Brad Grimes isn't afraid of a jack or two going into the tanks. Proprietor David Abreu and Grimes have made some of the greatest wines of the year. The 2010s, which I tasted from bottle are massively shut down today, but show the potential I sensed from barrel. Today, the 2012s are obviously very young, but they will have a hard time matching the 2010s and the best of the 2011s. I have included the blends for all of the wines, but long-time Abreu fans know the approach to winemaking here involves considerable co-fermentation, so the blends are more the result of decisions in the field on when and what to harvest rather than blending decisions, as they are pretty much everywhere else in the valley with perhaps a handful of exceptions. Brad Grimes explains it all in this short video we shot at the winery this past spring.
