Freemark Abbey 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley, California, USA

“2018 was a lovely vintage that helped us craft a very classically styled Cabernet Sauvignon. You can enjoy it now but it also has the ability to age for decades in the cellar.” - Kristy Melton, Winemaker

A deep ruby‑garnet colour leads to aromas of ripe blackberry, boysenberry and cherry, cocoa, cedar and herbs. Bold cherry and cassis stone‑fruit flavours evolve into chocolate‑berry truffle, subtle cigar and cedar. The tannins are nicely integrated, the texture rich, with a finish that lingers. Drinking well now but also built to age.
