POWERFUL AND FULL
Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse of a wine with lots of fruit. The wine is full-bodied with a delicious spicy touch from 14 months in American oak barrels.

Manufacturing
Michael David Winery is known for constantly breaking new ground and the two brothers take no shortcuts. This applies to everything from their distinctive brands and eye-catching labels to their eccentric personalities. Michael and David act on their very own stage and their wines are good examples of this.
Freakshow is made from Cabernet Sauvignon with a bit of Petite Sirah. The grapes for this beast of a Cabernet Sauvignon come from Michael David’s original “super freak” vineyards, which are just a stone’s throw from the vineyard.

Charcoal and wood-smoke aromas melt into nicely concentrated black-cherry and dark chocolate flavors in this full-bodied, moderately tannic wine.
