About This Wine
Sycamore Vineyard sits on the Rutherford Bench, a few miles from Bosché. Freemark Abbey harvested its first commercial Cabernet Sauvignon crop there in 1984, and it has been the winery's second single-vineyard Cabernet ever since.
Freemark Abbey traces its roots to 1886, when Josephine Tychson became the first woman to build and run a winery in California, on the site in St. Helena where Freemark Abbey stands today. It was one of the first Napa wineries to bottle single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
Serving
Decant and serve with roast beef, lamb or aged hard cheeses.
About Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, structured red built on blackcurrant and dark-berry fruit, firm tannins and fresh acidity, often layered with cedar, graphite and tobacco. From a warmer site it leans riper and denser, with concentrated black fruit and rounder tannins.
