2003 Freemark Abbey Sycamore Cabernet Sauvignon
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2003 Freemark Abbey Sycamore Cabernet Sauvignon (94RP). Wine Advocate: "The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Sycamore Vineyard (86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc) comes from a vineyard about a mile south of the Bosche site. A blockbuster effort, it is more backward and unevolved than its siblings with a more opaque ruby/purple color (almost black), and a sweet bouquet of licorice, blackberries and toast. Full-bodied, moderately tannic and dense, this beauty needs another 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades. It should prove to be one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. (RP)" (06/2013)

Jancis Robinson
“Slightly rustic in a positive way. Ripe cassis and red currant, with fresh herbs, forest floor and mint. While not immediately rewarding, it has the stuff to improve with aging. (17/20 points)” (06/2008)
N/A
Wine Enthusiast
“Very dry, made in a more restrained style for this very ripe vintage. Shows earthy, mushroomy fruit flavors overshadowed by pronounced acids and tannins. Seems designed for the cellar, and should blossom there.” (12/2006)
