Freemark Abbey, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

For the price this is a very attractive Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. For one thing, the Freemark Abbey Cabs age very well and are a collector’s dream. This vintage of Freemark Abbey’s basic Cabernet Sauvignon is firmly structured, but still exhibits plenty of flesh and classic aromas of blackberry and cassis. It has every right to improve in the cellar and will likely reward those who have the patience to wait another three to five years before serving.
