Abreu Thorevilos Proprietary Red 2013

Abreu Thorevilos Proprietary Red 2013 is a benchmark Napa Valley wine from one of California’s most celebrated sites, crafted from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Produced from the singular Thorevilos vineyard between St. Helena and Howell Mountain, this is a wine of rare depth, precision, and prestige—an estate that has earned legendary status despite never fitting neatly into an official AVA.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an inky, deeply saturated color that hints at its concentration and intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, with dark black fruits, cassis, graphite, floral lift, and complex savory nuances unfolding over time. The palate is powerful yet remarkably refined, combining immense depth with freshness and definition. Velvety tannins frame waves of ripe dark fruit, spice, mineral tension, and subtle oak, giving the wine both immediate impact and impressive balance. While already extraordinary, it has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for many years, continuing to gain complexity over time.

Production
Thorevilos sits at around 250 meters above sea level in a highly distinctive site between St. Helena and Howell Mountain, surrounded by forest rather than walls, yet often described with the character of a grand cru-like clos. Its soils are remarkably complex, with white, friable tuff minerals and orange-brown gravel contributing to the vineyard’s unique identity and mineral edge. Grapes are harvested with meticulous care, and vinification is handled with a focus on purity, restraint, and expressing the vineyard’s singular character rather than heavy manipulation.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for premium dishes such as dry-aged ribeye, filet mignon, braised short ribs, venison, or lamb with herbs and roasted root vegetables. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young, as the wine benefits from aeration to reveal its full aromatic complexity and texture.
