Had in Paris at rustic steakhouse. Delegate and elegant. Lighter in body with acidity, tannins and fruit at med/light levels. Pleasant drinking wine of red fruit. Liked and easy drinking - balance is highlight but muted. — 5 years ago

Better than some of the more expensive Cabs I've had. This paired beautifully with braised short rib, pasta and was even balanced enough for a delegate cheesecake desert. — 9 years ago

Beautiful Oregon pinot noir. Delegate, light fruitiness, rich dark fruit flavor, dry, tannin-y, finish. — 4 years ago

I don’t really have any relationship to Merlot, so I thought it was time to spend some time with a bottle. Though not necessarily known for this grape, Freemark Abbey is a name to remember - the first winery in CA founded by a woman and an American delegate at the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting. I figured an Oakville right bank blend was as close as I’m going to come soon to a young Pomerol. The wine was a deep garnet purple, almost opaque, and after an hour in decanter I got wild blackberry and rhubarb, dark chocolate and tobacco chilling with some decreasingly opinionated tannins. We’ll see how it compares to the next, but I’m happy. $32, 2016 — 4 years ago

Had the 2015. The somme at our club recommended it as we were eating lobsterfest entrees. We enjoyed it very much. Delegate not overwhelming just enough flavor. — 6 years ago

Crisp with delegate flavors. We've never had an Albariño (that we can remember) and this is a good start. A good aperitif. — 9 years ago
