NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

A note from the winemaker: From a wonderfully abundant vintage with exceptional quality, this Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend from over 20 + vineyards using all 5 Bordeaux varietals.  Selecting from all over the Napa Valley, we were truly kids in a candy store in creating this 2012 cabernet with its’ youthful dark ruby color.  With great complexity, the wine expresses aromas of fresh boysenberry, blackberry pie, Bing cherry, dark chocolate, chocolate berry truffle dusted with cocoa powder, all integrated with the spicy sweetness of oak, cedar, cinnamon,  clove and a hint of black pepper.  The body is very full with a soft entry, coupled with dark cherry/berry flavors that develop from start to finish.  With great texture and mouth feel, this cabernet is full bodied, rich and opulent.  In one word….delicious.

Food Pairings: Burgers, roasted chicken, or veal risotto.
