The 2005 Proprietary Red Lucia Abreu Vineyard seems to have closed down since I tasted it last year even though it is still not in bottle. A blend of 47% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, the wine has a dense ruby/purple color, wonderful purity, but jagged tannins and some austerity kept my score from going any higher. It exhibits more texture than last year, but I suspect I caught it on a bad day, and I will reevaluate it in 12 months.

A new project from Mark Aubert is his blend of 50% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 21% Cabernet Franc from a new Howell Mountain vineyard planted and owned by David Abreu. The beautiful 2005 Lucia-Abreu Vineyard (400 cases) exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as bright, lively aromas of blueberries, raspberries, and crushed rocks, medium to full body, sweet tannin, good freshness, and a long, heady finish. Elegant yet authoritatively flavored, it should drink well for 15 or more years.
