Freemark Abbey
Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
History began in 1886, when Josephine Marlin Tychson became the first woman to build and operate a winery in CA. The historic site where Josephine's winery, Tychson Cellars, is now known as Freemark Abbey. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc & 5% Petite Verdot, aromas of dark fruits, oak and spice. On the palate blackberry, currants, cacao and sweet spice. Full-bodied, tight with layers of fine soft tannins and a long and finish ending with fruit and oak, very pleasant.

Classic single vineyard cab, the Sycamore has considerable depth. Dark fruit with a long tannin rich finish. Could sit longer but very nice now.
