Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Sycamore Vineyards 2014
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesSycamore Vineyard is a 24-acre site located in Rutherford, Napa Valley, up against the Mayacamas Range on sloping, fertile, clay loam soils. 2014 is a highly regarded vintage and one of several to be debated from 2010 through 2016 as to which might be the best. The blend is 90 percent cabernet sauvignon, 4 percent merlot, 3 percent cabernet franc, and 3 percent petit verdot, aged 28 months in French oak (61 percent new). Still youthful, this dark-coloured red has notes that suggests it may be too much of a good thing, but the rest of the wine is managed well from its freshness and red fruit to its rich, minty oaky, spicy, long linear palate. Tobacco and dense, round tannins fill out the finish of a wine that will cellar effortlessly through 2030.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $134.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
