Merlot 2002 Estate - Freemark Abbey

$25.95 per bottle

The color is a rich ruby in depth with reddish hues. The aroma is appealing with nuances of dried cranberry, red raspberry, cherry, chocolate espresso, not to miss the subtle hints of mint and arugula. The pleasant balance in the flavor, while finishing on the crisp side, is accented by flavors of plum, cherry, dark fruit, chocolate and oak spice, finishing with a maturing tannin structure. This wine goes particularly well with grilled lamb or game.

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.
