Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford

California

Rutherford

The 2014 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet in color with a touch of brick. After a little swirling, notes of stewed plums, boysenberry preservers, and garrigue spill from the glass, plus nuances of cedar and dried sage. The full-bodied palate reveals a taut structure of firm, chewy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the muscular, savory fruit, finishing on a dried herbs note.

The 2021 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, with 10% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out of the glass with showy notes of cedar chest, Indian spices, and dried flowers leading to a core of creme de cassis and plum pudding followed by a waft of fallen leaves. The full-bodied palate is chock full of black fruit preserves and exotic spice accents framed by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy. Only 900 cases were made.
