Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2011 Abreu "Las Posadas" Howell Mountain Bordeaux Blend (95VN). Vinous: "The 2011 Las Posadas is a relatively delicate wine for Howell Mountain, but the vines were pretty young back then. Inky dark fruit, licorice, menthol, lavender, graphite and rose petal all grace this understated, elegant Abreu wine. The 2011 is such a pretty wine. Even so, it has never been as exciting as it was from barrel. Note: Las Posadas is the same wine formerly known as the Howell Mountain bottling. (AG)" (10/2021)

Provenance: Purchased from a reputable source and stored in a temperature-controlled wine fridge until hand-delivered to K&L.

Notes

From Antonio Galloni in Vinous: "Brad Grimes is one of the most brilliant winemakers in Napa Valley. He seems guided more by a sense of intuition married to experience rather than the more technical approach which is quite common in the valley. Simply put, these are some of the most beautiful wines being made in Napa Valley today." (10/2021)
