A Napa Valley original, the origin of Freemark Abbey dates back to 1881, when Josephine and John Tychson purchased 147 acres in the Napa Valley. Eight decades later, Freemark Abbey helped launch the modern era of California wine. Ted Edwards has been Freemark Abbey’s winemaker since 1985. Edwards’ intelligent approach to winemaking, combined with the sheer length of his experience in the Napa Valley-the Rutherford Bench in particular-make him one of the region’s leading vintners. Today, thanks to Edwards’ efforts, the portfolio is comprised of an impressive collection of critically acclaimed wines, including Freemark Abbey’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Chardonnay and Napa Valley Merlot. The winery also showcases single vineyard designate wines from the prestigious Rutherford AVA, including the iconic Bosche and Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons
