Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2016

Product Highlights

This 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep ruby and opens with a complex bouquet of blackberry, black currant, and blueberry layered with spicy oak, dark chocolate, and tobacco, followed by a lovely fragrance of roses, herbs, and earth with a hint of plum. The entry is smooth and full-bodied, finishing long, textured, and chewy. Freemark Abbey builds this bottling from a classic Bordeaux-style blend — 78.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 5.6% Malbec, and 2.2% Cabernet Franc — giving it added depth and complexity beyond a single-varietal Cabernet. It pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, and venison, and holds its own alongside red berries, aged cheeses, or a rich chocolate dessert. With its structure and layered fruit, this is a Cabernet worth savoring slowly or setting aside for a few more years in the cellar.
