Sipping Fine Wine

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

History began in 1886, when Josephine Marlin Tychson became the first woman to build and operate a winery in CA. The historic site where Josephine's winery, Tychson Cellars, is now known as Freemark Abbey. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc & 5% Petite Verdot, aromas of dark fruits, oak and spice. On the palate blackberry, currants, cacao and sweet spice. Full-bodied, tight with layers of fine soft tannins and a long and finish ending with fruit and oak, very pleasant. — 7 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

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

STUNNING. The expression of everything a California Cab Sauv should be. Huge nose of deep, dark raisin/blackberry with a layered structure of firm tannins. The saga-like finish leaves your palate with black cherries and slight oak spice. I'm in heaven. — 10 years ago

A favorite rose for the spring and summer. A little deeper than the Provençal rose's, but smooth, dry, and full of fruit. 2014 vintage. — 10 years ago

Pineapple banana buttery nose. Good acidity, grapefruit white pepper lemongrass on the palate and a long sleek finish. It was on sale for £12 at my local wine shop. WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!! — 11 years ago

My wife went to the Boyd Vineyard last weekend on a private tour recommended by a colleague. She liked the 2010 Cab, Oak Knoll District so much, she had the vineyard ship a case home for my birthday. extremely smooth even without giving time to breathe. Not overpowered berry or other fruit, dry but without dust on the rim. You will make a good impression if you bring this to the next dinner party invite but volunteer to open on site as you may not find it again. Just returned from a business trip to my French parent company. I did not taste anything better over there. Concerned how the 2011 will fare given how that poor year is shaping up but there are exceptions, — 11 years ago
