Abreu Vineyard, Thorevilos' Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011

The 2011 Thorevilos’ Cabernet Sauvignon from Abreu Vineyards is a true expression of Napa Valley’s best, bringing together both power and refinement in a way that only a select few wines can. Known for its meticulous farming practices and attention to detail, Abreu continues to deliver wines that speak to the region’s exceptional terroir.

The palate is rich and full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit flavors and a touch of earthiness that adds depth and intrigue. Silky tannins provide structure, while a vibrant acidity ensures the wine remains balanced and fresh. The finish is long and layered, revealing nuanced notes of graphite and spice. With its age-worthy structure, this Cabernet pairs beautifully with bold, rich dishes such as braised short ribs, roasted prime rib, or grilled venison. Best enjoyed now or with the patience to ag
