| TASTING NOTE: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Freemark Abbey's generic bottling from Napa, is a brilliant example, and at $50 [USD], a heck of a value. It is also one of their larger cuvées at 24,332 cases. A blend of 75.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10.9% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, this wine spent nearly 26 months in oak. Opaque purple in color, it exhibits beautiful blackberry and blackcurrant fruit with hints of white chocolate, allspice and tobacco leaf. It is rich, full-bodied, seriously concentrated, and has 2013's relatively serious structure and tannic clout. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25-30 years. Drink Date: 2019-2050. Score - 92+ (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016) |
