Freemark Abbey
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
I am really predisposed not to like Napa Cabs, but this one was delicious. Not a huge nose on this inky wine. Delicious mix of black and red fruit with huge acid and very subtle tannins.

I drank the shit out of this wine and it was awesome. I must admit that this was a little more expensive than the usual stuff I buy, and, it was only one bottle. The boxes I get for $15 easily have a 4 bottle wine capacity.
Would recommend to anyone, really good 'leg opener' as we say in the UK.

Ripe currant, dark cherry, subtle oak and dried sage aromas, really classic CS-stuff! Medium-bodied, showing positive austerity, overall balance and good structure, this infant should age gracefully.

Unabashed fan of Freemark Abbey here, with a bottle you can only get in their tasting room, the 2010 Bootleg cabernet has a nice ruby color to it with a slightly watery rim. The nose gives off some herbaceous notes along with bell pepper, tart cranberry and blackberry. The tannins mellow with just a little air, from grippy to moderately pleasant.
