Description

Opaque black ruby in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon has intense depth. The aroma leads with boysenberry and dark cherry, all integrated with toasty oak yielding nuances of aromatic cedar, cinnamon, clove, tobacco and dark chocolate cocoa powder. This is a big wine; the body is very full, balanced with dark cherry and plum fruit flavors, coupled with a good acidity and resolved tannins.

James Suckling 95
This is aromatic with fresh herbs, such as basil and sweet tobacco. Medium to full body with lead-pencil character, creamy tannins and a long, bright finish. Dusty at the end with some mahogany. Fine, polished furniture-like undertone to this. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate 94
Blended from portions of Sycamore, Bosché and another vineyard, Freemark Abbey's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford features scents of cassis, plum and hints of dark chocolate on the nose. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, matured in 55% new French oak, it's full-bodied, dusty and firmly built. There's even more structure here than in the Oakville bottling, yet the wine remains elegant on the lengthy finish.
