Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 Estate - Freemark Abbey

Sold Out

Deep ruby, with intense dark fruit aromas of blackberry, plum, black cherry, and currant. Bright fruit aromas mingled with sweet oak, dark chocolate, slight clove, cinnamon, and black pepper. Great blackberry flavors evolve on a bed of balanced acidity and moderate tannins, yielding a long pleasant finish.

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.

In 1939, three businessmen from Southern California; Albert “Abbey” Ahern, Charles Freeman and Markquand Foster purchased Lombarda Cellars. Together they reopened the winery and renamed it Freemark Abbey. Throughout the 1940’s and 50’s the new winery primarily sold its wines to San Francisco retail stores, where a longstanding presence began to develop for Freemark Abbey’s label.
