2014 Abreu, Thorevilos, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

AG99 "The 2014 Thorevilos offers up an exotic mélange of blue fruits, leather, gravel, incense, licorice and plum. A wine of gravitas and substance, the 2014 is another seriously impressive offering in this range. At ten years of age, it remains youthful, virile and full of like. I admire its statuesque personality and vertical lift. This is the best showing yet for the Thorevilos, a wine that - like many 2014s - has gone through pronounced periods of reticence. Unforgettable." AG for VM Jan. 2025

JD98 " One of the gems in the lineup is the 2014 Thorevilos and this awesome wine comes from a site on the eastern side of the valley, just behind the luxury Meadowood Estate, and is comprised of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 14% Petit Verdot, and 4% Malbec. Notes of crème de cassis and blue fruits intermixed with spicy oak, spring flowers, and graphite all emerge from the glass and this crazy good 2014 offers a full-bodied, powerful, yet graceful, elegant style on the palate. It's a gorgeous 2014 that shows the more sexy, approachable style of the vintage, yet has enough tannin to warrant hiding bottles for at least 4-5 years." JD Dec 2017

RP97 "Grown on white volcanic ash soil, the deep garnet-purple colored 2014 Thorevilos Proprietary Red has a very meaty nose with charcuterie, beef drippings, truffles and wood smoke over spice cake, blackberry tart, warm blackcurrants, earth and anise plus a waft of cedar chest. The palate is very firm, grainy, lively and taut with loads of earthy/savory layers and great length." LPB for TWA Oct 2018
