Tasting notes
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.

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.
