Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet is our interpretation of a quintessentially classic style. The color is deep garnet and the nose yields aromas of dark chocolate, pomegranate, cedar shavings, blackberry, and leather. The palate exhibits flavors of blueberry compote, black cherry, espresso, and cigar box with bright and juicy fruit forward sensations. The texture is rich and bold with well-structured tannins that make it approachable now and will yield great results in the cellar for decades.

Abundant and later than usual rains marked the winter leading up to the 2019 season. This provided good soil moisture to set a normal size crop with plenty of vigor. The growing season was near perfect with moderate daytime temperatures and evening marine influences, creating ideal ripening conditions. Harvest began shortly after Labor Day with our Sauvignon Blanc grapes and concluded October 30 with our last pick of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are fresh, fruit driven and vibrant, indicative of a hallmark and classically balanced vintage.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with grilled ribeye steak or a filet mignon with shallot-thyme sauce.
