Note di degustazione
(13.8% alcohol): Deep medium ruby. Lively nose combines black raspberry, blueberry, violet, licorice, coffee, mocha and tobacco. Very rich, dense and concentrated but not heavy in spite of its almost liqueur-like ripeness. The flavors of dark berries, bitter chocolate and licorice are nicely framed by slightly elevated acidity. Finishes with big, broad, dusty, chocolatey tannins and excellent length. Still young.

The 2004 Cabernet Bosche Vineyard, which sits on alluvial, gravelly soils in Rutherford and is one of Napa’s most famous vineyards, is absolutely brilliant. The blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot spent 24 months in French oak. This one is still young for a 2004. Its dense purple color, big sweet kiss of cola, vanilla, cedarwood, oodles of black currants and dark cherries, a hint of licorice and unsmoked cigar tobacco, make for a classic almost Pauillac-like style of wine. This is youthful, full-bodied, promising and should hit its peak in another 4-5 years and last at least another two decades. Tel. (800) 963-9698
