2015 Abreu Rothwell Hyde St. Helena Bordeaux Blend

First made in 2001, the 2015 Rothwell Hyde is a complex blend from all four of the estate vineyards. It's unquestionably more forward and approachable than the single vineyards yet plays in the powerful, serious, incredibly impressive style of this estate. Blockbuster notes of blue fruits, barbecue smoke, camphor, and violets all flow to a full-bodied, thrillingly pure, flamboyant 2015 that has sweet tannins, no hard edges, and remarkable purity of fruit.
