Abreu Rothwell Hyde Napa Valley 2018

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "While the 2018 Rothwell Hyde can be thought of as the entry level wine from Abreu, it never tastes like an entry level wine and would easily surpass many estates’ top cuvée. Black fruits, toasted spices, graphite, background oak, and even some meaty nuances all emerge from the nose, and this beauty has full body, ripe, polished tannins, and rock-solid density and depth. It's going to keep for two decades, and readers shouldn’t hesitate to buy bottles. Drink: 2023-2043. (2/16/23)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Rothwell Hyde is outrageously good. Make that outrageously great. This is the best vintage of the Rothwell Hyde I can remember tasting. A few lots from Madrona Ranch that did not fit into that blend work wonders here. Readers will find a vivid, exuberant wine that delivers the goods, big time. Drink: 2024-2038. (Jan 2022)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "[$250 list] This is a serious Cabernet that checks all the boxes, with waves of rich plum, black currant and fig preserves laced with smoldering tobacco, cast iron, dried bay leaf, espresso crema and alder. There's ample grip, but it's integrated, and the finish has cut and drive despite its heft. Large-scaled but balanced. Patience required. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2038. 264 cases made. (5/31/22)"
