A very serious, tight red with currant, chocolate and brambleberry character, as well as orange peel. Full-bodied, refined and focused. Beautiful, polished sensibility. Already delicious, but better in a year or two.

The 2016 Rothwell Hyde is a gorgeous wine to drink now, for readers who can find it. Soft and elegant with silky tannins and fabulous balance, the 2016 has so much to offer already. Black cherry, mocha, espresso, licorice, lavender and spice contribute aromatic nuance, but more than anything else, the 2016 is racy and open-knit, with tons of immediacy. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gem.

David Abreu is one of a handful of legends that have shaped the face of Napa Valley’s first-class status, competing with the greatest wines in the world. As Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate) says, "Abreu is a legend in his own time when it comes to vineyard management" and it shows. Since purchasing the flagship Madrona Ranch in the 1980’s, Abreu has acquired three more vineyards in the Howell Mountain district; Cappella, Thorevilos, and Las Posadas, each has stylistic variation that owes more to their unique terroirs than winemaking techniques. Many compare Abreu to Bordeaux First Growths including the Wine Advocate that has given them no less than eleven perfect scores.
