The 2018 Freemark Abbey Sycamore Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the historic Sycamore Vineyard in Rutherford, an area renowned for producing structured and age-worthy wines. The nose is deep and complex, offering aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum layered with cedar, graphite, cocoa and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with finely structured tannins supporting rich flavours of black fruits, cassis and dark chocolate. Well-integrated oak adds depth and texture, while balanced acidity carries the wine through a long, persistent finish marked by savoury notes and classic Rutherford character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for collectors and Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiasts seeking a serious Napa Valley expression. Its structure and concentration make it a natural partner for premium cuts of beef, slow-roasted lamb or aged hard cheeses. While drinking beautifully with decanting now, this wine has the pedigree to continue developing complexity over the next 10–15 years.
