A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot, this black-fruited, medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced 2019 has plenty of up-front fruit, velvety tannins, and a great finish.

Winemaker's Notes

Freemark Abbey Rutherford Cabernet 2019 is a rich and powerful red wine that highlights the unique terroir of the Rutherford AVA in Napa Valley. This Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and complex, with deep flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark chocolate, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco, and spice. The wine’s well-structured tannins and long, elegant finish make it an ideal companion for grilled meats, lamb, or hearty stews. Freemark Abbey’s commitment to producing wines of distinction is evident in this impressive Rutherford Cabernet.
