Decanter – "The estate known today as Freemark Abbey was established in 1886 by one of the first female wine-growers in Napa. Today Ted Edwards is head winemaker, working for the past three decades to develop relationships with growers, allowing exclusive sourcing rights to specific plots, which is crucial to the winery’s success. This wine has been aged for 28 months in a mixture of French and American oak. Powerful blackcurrant nose, with slightly charred oak. Very rich without being jammy, it packs a punch. An assertive and very youthful style, but good acidity and tannins mean this should go the distance. This is softly structured but with a good level of tannins. Violets and rose petals lead up to a lengthy finish. Great purity and clarity here."
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “Medium garnet, the 2019 Trousseau opens with wild, savory aromas of tobacco, leather, tar, briar fruit and nuances of Angostura bitters and underbrush. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with earth-laced fruit and an alluring, spicy finish.”
- Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate
James Suckling – “Racy and intense nose, full of wild cherries, bayberries and haw fruit with a tangy lift of white pepper. Bright and juicy on the palate, with soft and fresh tannins carrying through to a vivid, savory finish. So bright, crunchy and drinkable! Enjoy now.” - jamessuckling.com
Decanter – “Half the blend is from the oldest Semillon vineyard in California with the Sauvignon Blanc from Oak Knoll. Co-fermented in 25% new French oak, aged statically on lees for 10 months then kept in bottle for three years before release. Nose of candied lemon and beeswax with a layer of woodsmoke and spice. The palate is fleshy and textured with a hint of honey, balanced by fresh acidity.” - Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW, Decanter
