Description

One of Napa Valley’s original Cabernet Sauvignon houses with a legacy dating back to 1886, the historic Freemark Abbey helped pioneer the California wine industry and has become a beacon of enduring quality and tradition. The winery has built its reputation as one of Napa Valley’s most storied and trusted Cabernet Sauvignon houses with a classic, elegant style of winemaking that rewards patience with their incredible ageability. In fact, the winery has built one of the largest library collections of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons dating back to the mid-1960s. With over 40 vintages, Ted still believes nothing is more exciting than growing grapes, making wine and sharing it with friends. This is also why, after 40-plus vintages, the opportunity has come for Ted to usher in the next generation in Freemark Abbey’s history with the appointment of Kristy Melton as winemaker. Together Ted and Kristy were able to craft this selection from the prestigious Napa Valley vineyards, Bosché and Sycamore. While these vineyards are only a mile apart on the Rutherford Bench, these two top sites provide a remarkable sense of place, distinction and ageability. Whether you open this wine now, or 40 vintages from now, we hope you celebrate your role in Freemark Abbey’s history. None of it would be possible without partners and friends like you.
