Freemark Abbey Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 Review
This wine shows the full power of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s dark and brooding and deserves descriptors such as: dense aromas of mocha and blackberries with slight hints of white and black pepper. All this means that this bottle is straight up amazing. It has a rustic edge on the palate that will only soften over another year or so. If you're going to spend this much money on Napa, please consider this bottle and buy the most expensive cut of meat you can afford.
