2009 Boeschen Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

This is a blend of 92% Cabernet, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals spicy notions of vanilla pod, cloves and powdered cinnamon over a core of Black Forest cake, raspberry pie and kirsch plus a touch of fallen leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played and refreshing with soft, plush tannins and gentle fruit expression, finishing on a soft-spoken earthy note.
