Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, Napa Valley, California


This product has just been released in our provincial wine stores (LCBO).  As an older vintage wine, I was curious as to what this 2002 Cabernet would taste like. The nose was very subdued; old wood and pencil shaving. The palate is a bit rustic with low acidity and smooth tannins. The finish is earthy with no fruit to speak of. This wine, most likely, would have been better 2 or 3 years ago, but right now this Cabernet Sauvignon is past its prime. Not recommended.

This wine was purchased on May 28, 2011 LCBO New Release at $29.95
