title: Freemark Abbey 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
description: Surprisingly, this is the producer's first blended Cabernet from the appellation, though it has long made vineyard-designates there. Combining fruit from the Bosche and Sycamore sites, it opens expansively in sizable tannin and dusty oak, before interweaving spicy black pepper, leather and soft infusions of blackberry and cherry.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
