Crafted as a tribute to Josephine Tychson, one of Napa Valley’s earliest pioneering vintners, the 2005 Josephine reflects both heritage and quiet strength. Now emerging from our library, this wine reveals the depth and composure that only time can achieve. Aromas of dried black cherry, cassis, and warm baking spice unfold into notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite. The palate is refined and layered, with supple tannins framing flavors of dark plum, cocoa, and subtle earth. Nearly two decades of bottle age have brought harmony and nuance, yet the structure remains intact, a testament to the vintage and to Freemark Abbey’s commitment to age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon.
Extremely limited in availability, the 2005 Josephine offers collectors a rare opportunity to experience a mature expression of Napa Valley with both grace and gravitas.
