Note di degustazione
The 2018 Bossman is aromatic, elegant and nuanced. It is another wine in the range that offers quite a bit of transparency, despite its obvious richness. The 35-40% whole clusters need time to integrate, but there is plenty to look forward to. Bossman is a Syrah-based blend with dollops of Viognier, Grenache and Cabernet Franc, mostly from John Sebastiano plus a touch of fruit from Donnachadh. It should be stellar in another year or two.

The 2018 Bossman is also Syrah-dominated (70%) yet is a more eclectic blend that includes 10% each of Viognier, Grenache, and Cabernet Franc. It saw roughly 30% stems and the standard, longer élevage favored by Matthias, spending 25 months in 35% new barrels. I love the purity of fruit here, and it has a perfumed bouquet of blueberries, cherries, violets, and ground pepper as well as this Côte Rôtie-like sense of minerality. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and layered, it has the class to drink well today yet also evolve for 10-15 years. It’s stunning Santa Ynez Syrah blend.
