title: Freemark Abbey 1997 Sycamore Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: A dry-smelling wine, with hints of cinnamon, pine bark, eucalyptus and earth, that unfold slowly on the palate to reveal bright red cherries and berries. It's big and it's structured, yet finishes smooth and silky, blending in coffee and tea notes. Approachable now, but better after 2005.
