June 3, 2023 - Brookie and I enjoyed this bottle with Jordan and Megan at "Well and Good". Unfortunately, the restaurant did not have a decanter, so we poured glasses and put the rest in a carafe. The bottom line is that this is going to be a great bottle in about 8-10 years. The wine didn't really open up much over dinner, but it is obviously very good and will need some time.

February 9, 2023 - Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): Our guide Anne had mentioned that 2013 was a popular vintage of Freemark Abbey and here again it’s easy to see why. There’s a certain life to the wine that I don’t get in the 2003 or 1993. I don’t think it’s an age thing but rather how the wine was made and perhaps the qualities of the vintage.

January 21, 2023 - Quite dense and tannins still unresolved with a menthol finish. We'll see what it's like on day #2. Likely still needs a few more years.
Day #2 showed alot of improvement. -

April 16, 2022 - 94% Cab Sauv and 6% Merlot. Just entering it's drinking window. Big, bold, dusty and chewy tannins. Blackberry, blackcurrant, mocha, pencil lead, raspberry, violet. Would pair wonderfully with a juicy steak.

April 26, 2020 - Not decanted. Still primary, with layers of dark berry, cassis and mocha. Well made, with lush tannins and medium-high acidity. Recommend waiting a few more years or decanting before drinking.
