Product details
Abreu Vineyards' 2021 Rothwell Hyde Red Wine exemplifies the winery's dedication to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of Napa Valley. Founded in 1980 by renowned viticulturist David Abreu, the estate has garnered acclaim for its meticulous vineyard management and commitment to quality. The Rothwell Hyde blend sources fruit from the esteemed Madrona Ranch and Cappella vineyards, both situated on the western edge of St. Helena. These sites, though only a quarter-mile apart, offer distinct characteristics that contribute to the wine's complexity. Winemaker Brad Grimes employs a hands-on approach, co-fermenting grapes at optimal ripeness and aging the wine in French oak barrels to achieve a harmonious balance of flavor, texture, and structure.
The 2021 Rothwell Hyde Red Wine presents a deep, opaque ruby hue, indicative of its concentration and intensity. The nose reveals inviting aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, fresh embers, and dried herbs. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and richly textured experience, with flavors of blackberry, cocoa beans, and tapenade, complemented by a grainy and grippy finish. a deep, opaque ruby hue, indicative of its concentration and intensity.
