FREEMARK ABBEY
Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
 

Rutherford, Napa Valley  

93 Points! Robert Parker The Wine Advocate

 An absolutely fabulous value is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa. This comes from multiple sources and there are 46,000+ cases of it. A stunning Cabernet Sauvignon and a classic example of Napa viticulture, this blend of 75.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, was aged just over two years in oak. Loads of sweet black currant fruit, cocoa, a touch of toast, earth, and baking spice are all present in this wine that has terrific fruit on the attack and mid-palate, a full-bodied mouth feel, no hard edges and a luscious, opulent, gorgeously pure style. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Although I wouldn’t be surprised to see it last longer.
For old-time reader/subscribers, this might be the modern-day equivalent of the great 1974 Souverain Vintage Selection that I recommended back in the late 1970s and is still going strong today.

The Winemaker's Thoughts on this wine.....

This Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of black fruit, Bing cherry, dark chocolate, red raspberry, green olive and tobacco are integrated with the spicy sweetness of oak, cedar, cinnamon, clove and a hint of black pepper. Full-bodied with a soft entry and great depth.

1886
"An intrepid Victorian widow who could often be spotted riding," Josephine Tychson built and operated the original redwood cellar on our estate, cultivated the land, and became the first female winemaker on record in Napa Valley.

1949
Freemark Abbey opens a “Sampling Room,” as tasting rooms were first called, making it one of the earliest wineries in Napa Valley to offer visitors sips of wine.

The Rutherford Bench

World renowned, this is arguably one of the finest locations for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Deeply rooted in the alluvial fan soil, these vines produce wines famous for signature “Rutherford dust” and tobacco behind dark fruit flavors. For more than 30 years, Freemark Abbey has held exclusive sourcing rights to two prestigious vineyards here.


“I spend a lot of time out in the vineyards throughout the season, working with the crews in the myriad of decisions that affect the flavors and quality of the fruit. We pick at the last possible moment, when the grapes have reached full complexity and flavor development.”
