Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Sycamore Vineyards 2015
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesTasted alongside the 2014 vintage, 2015 appears to have more finesse at this point, albeit in what is a powerhouse red with considerable muscle. The black fruit is pierced by fresher veins of black raspberry and Damson plum before a savoury, sagebrush, and cedar film envelops the palate. Lots of complexity, including a dollop of minerality in what is a super youthful cabernet that will need a decade or two in the cellar to spread its wings. The blend is 88.2% cabernet sauvignon, 4.4% petit verdot, 4.2% cabernet franc and 3.2% merlot. I continue to be impressed with the transformation of Freemark Abbey by the Jackson Family folks into a very modern Napa cabernet.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $134.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
