The history of Freemark Abbey began in 1886, when Josephine Marlin Tychson became the first woman to build and operate a winery in California. The historic site where Josephine's winery, Tychson Cellars, once stood is now known as Freemark Abbey. A blend of 83.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.2% Merlot, 4.4% Malbec, & 3% Petit Verdot, dark red with dark berry fruit aromas. On the palate cherry and blackberry flavors with bits of leather, cacao and oak notes. Tannins are soft and balanced with acidity. Nice. — 8 years ago

This has so much more cocoa than the 2008. Great big bright red fruit. A lot les herbal qualities as well. Just perfect right now. I’m interested to look at the vintage charts for these years in knights valley. For some reason I thought 2008 was a pretty good year, but 2009 is tasting better. — 8 years ago
