David Abreu is considered to be one of the greatest Vineyard Managers in Napa Valley history. Everything he touches turns into gold and that is why you will see his name pretty much everywhere around Napa Valley’s greatest wineries. He is “THAT GUY” and people want to make sure their vines are showing their best potential. Now you can only imagine his own vines would be even better right!?

The depth, complexity, and age-ability of these wines are second to none. You can throw a bottle of Abreu in a lineup with Harlan, Scarecrow, Screaming Eagle, and any other “top dog” and will easily handle its own or even beat out these producers. We are still confused how the secondary market isn’t at $1,000 a bottle yet but we are not complaining!

We guarantee you any of these wines below will make you ask, “Why don’t I drink more Abreu?” while consuming. It is “THAT GOOD” and deserves multiple slots in your cellar.

MADRONA RANCH

Abreu’s first vineyard site and the heart of the estate. Wide diversity in soil types, which range from red Aiken to white tufa to dark clay and rocks. The first commercial release here was 1987.

THOREVILOS

Higher elevation site at 800 feet above the valley floor and sits between the St. Helena and Howell Mountain AVAs. The soil is mostly volcanic rock, tan in color and peppered with orange-brown pebbles.

CAPPELLA

One of the oldest vineyard sites in the St. Helena AVA. The land lay fallow for decades before David could replant so the vines are still relatively young.

LOS POSADAS HOWELL MOUNTAIN

At about 2000 feet elevation, Las Posadas sits above the fog line, surrounded by a protected forest of fir and pine. Red Aiken soils are layered over white tufa, and the rocks that littered the site before it was planted now form walls defining the property.
