Freemark Abbey Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Review
Napa Valley’s historic Freemark Abbey has been in business for over 100 years. Its wine was even included in the 1976 Judgement of Paris. This is a beautiful single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon with deep black and blue berry aromas and hints of dried herbs. The palate is as deep as a Napa Cab can go with subtle yet present tannins soaking into the core of fruit. It's a young wine but it’s drinking wonderfully now.
