Personalised Freemark Abbey Sycamore Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 14.5% 750ML

Tasting Notes

Vintage notes
The winter continued a dry weather pattern and bud break was early. The growing season was moderate, near ideal, and on an early pace. Most varieties were harvested in September with a final wrap up on October 10th, getting it all in before any rains developed.

Appearance
Dark ruby in color.

Aroma
The fruit in the aroma is black cherry, blueberry and red raspberry. The bright fruit is complimented with dark chocolate, black pepper, forest floor, aromatic cedar and leather notes. The oak spice is fairly integrated, adding to the overall complexity.
Palate
The texture on the palate has a smooth entry, with dark cherry flavor. The tannins are well resolved, yet promise the ability for long aging. The fruit acidity provides a very pleasant lengthy finish.

Vinification
After a 5 day cold soak, the wine was fermented in stainless steel fermenters at 75°- 86° for 10 - 28 days skin contact.
