Score 94/100 · Drink 2015-2030, Robert Parker, Oct 2015

The least expensive wine from Abreu is a 400-case cuvée called Rothwell Hyde, which comes from different vineyards. The 2012, which is in bottle, offers loads of cedar wood, black chocolate and coffee as well as hints of underbrush, forest floor, blackcurrants and black cherries. It is delicious, densely colored, and dramatic, even flamboyant. Drink it over the next 15+ years.

The 2012 Rothwell Hyde is one of the better vintages of this wine I have tasted. Dark, sumptuous and layered, the 2012 is quite dark, which suggests most of the fruit is from Howell Mountain. Plum, black cherry, spice and new leather meld into the supple, inviting finish. None of the Abreu wines could ever be described as inexpensive, but 2012 Rothwell is a fabulous wine for the money by Napa Valley standards. Tasted last after all the 2012s, 2013s and 2014s, the 2012 Rothwell Hyde more than holds its own.
