Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Bosché Vineyard 2014
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United States2015 Bosché is awash in black cherries and cassis, streaked with sweet spices and fragrant floral notes. The attack is less fearsome than the Sycamore, with more nuance and finesse emanating from its attractive dusty, Rutherford tannins. The blend is 92% cabernet sauvignon and 8% merlot that projects well without the need for any petit verdot or cabernet franc to prop it up. It’s the balance of acidity and fruit that sets this wine apart from others and makes it instantly likeable even in its relative youth. Yes, you could drink this now with a T-bone steak or roast beef, or you could wait 15 years for the full picture to develop. Impressive and worth investing in, no matter what your needs.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $128.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
