May 2023 Wine club shipment - Cloned

A tribute to our founder, Josephine Tychson, we craft this wine as a rich, complex, elegant, and intriguing wine from St. Helena. A base of Cabernet yields dark fruit notes of black cherry and black raspberry with well-structured tannins. Merlot contributes elements of plum, vanilla, and supple textures, while the Cabernet Franc and Malbec add exotic baking spice notes. The resulting blend is creamy, brooding, and richly textured, making it great with food or simply lovely on its own.

The Bosché Vineyard not only yields incredible Cabernet, but the Merlot is so great we
love to bottle a small amount on its own to show its beauty. The wine is deep purple in
color with aromas of blueberry, plum, dried flowers and oak spices. The palate is creamy
and rich with plenty of vibrant fruit and earth characters including milk chocolate, cedar
and bramble berry compote. The textures are well integrated, making it lovely on its own
today with the ability to age well for years in the cellar.

Sourced from our famed vineyards, Bosché and Sycamore, this wine represents former
Winemaker Emeritus Ted Edward’s classical approach to blending. The nose exudes
elements of black cherry, currant, carob, dried herbs and leather. The palate is both
bright yet creamy with notes of black peppercorn, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla and
mocha. In classic Ted style, you can drink this wine now or age it for decades. Ted loves
wines 10-15 years old from his cellar, but drink this at your favorite time in its life!
