           Grapevine Notes from KrisTy        Kristy Melton                  

All of us at Freemark Abbey are overjoyed at what an incredible harvest we had last fall, followed by some substantial winter rains in December and January that were more than needed. Perhaps you watched the news and saw all the flooding in Northern California, but fear not, we were spared at the winery from any harm.  read more

Partners Blend Red Wine

, Napa Valley
Fashioned after a 'Right Bank blend' with a focus on Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this wine exhibits lovely aromas of blueberry compote, carob, baking spice and vanilla. The palate is bright and lively with flavors of plum pie, espresso, clove, and anise. The texture is round and supple with lovely, well integrated tannins.

The flavor is big, voluptuous, and elegant, with rich great depth of dark cherry and Santa Rosa plum. With balanced acidity, good body and texture, the tannins are well resolved, providing a very long fruitful finish.
