Savory and sweet. Strawberry, sweet herbs, pomegranate, and citrus oil. Balanced and fresh. Sean Boyd gets his Grenache right and the ‘16 is no exception. — 5 years ago

9.1

Began in 1886, when Josephine Marlin Tychson became the first woman to operate a winery in CA and this site where Josephine's winery once stood is now known as Freemark Abbey. Aromas of crisp ripe fruit with scents of oak, spice and floral. On the palate apple, peach and honey flavors with lemon notes, vanilla and sweet oak wrapped in tangy acidity. Lingering finish ending with a toasty character. Nice value. — 7 years ago

Sean Boyd really knows how to capture the acidity in this blend. More melon, Honeysuckle, and lemon notes than last year, but still an underlying mineral note. Persistent, lip-smacking finish. — 5 years ago

Nice surprise with this smooth Cabernet. Nice fruit, vanilla and finish. Small production and only sold at Winery but look for increased production and distribution soon. Too good to be limited. — 8 years ago

Sean Boyd nailed this Mourvèdre! Smoke, tar, blackberry compote, and wildflowers with a touch of salty sea air. In fact, I just want to keep my nose in the glass! I expected something big, like a Bandol. This is certainly relatively full-bodied, but the fruit, lean tannins, and a touch of succulent acidity are harmonious. I suspect this will easily cellar another 7-9 years. Paired with duck breast and asparagus and wild mushrooms. — 7 years ago
