Thorevilos has an elevation of 800 feet at its peak and is the only Abreu vineyard that is not situated in any of the numerous Napa Valley appellations. The 2008 vintage is a powerful blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Verdot. Dark red in colour and medium in body, the wine offers aromas of charcoal, leather, peppercorn and sage. Flavours include dried blueberries, cocoa powder, gravel, bay leaf, and crushed rosemary, with a persistent finish.
