2022 Freelander, 'District One' Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 Freelander “District One” Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, richly textured Cabernet from California’s Central Coast, offering deep blackberry, cassis, dark cherry, and subtle notes of spice, cocoa, and toasted oak. Crafted under the guidance of winemaker Larry Levin—with over three decades of winemaking experience at Napa heavyweights like Turnbull and Quintessa—this wine brings expressive varietal character and balance at exceptional value. Freelander is the creation of visionary entrepreneur Mike O’Connell, known for building approachable, high‑quality brands like Grayson Cellars, Pavillon, and Hanging Vine, all made to delight by delivering California richness with friendly pricing. Sustainably grown and aged for ten months in a mix of French and American oak (about 20% new), it finishes with plush tannins and versatile appeal—ideal for pairing with grilled meats or even burgers.
