Wine

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.

Primary Vineyards: Bosché Vineyard (100%): Located west of Hwy. 29, on the famed Rutherford Bench,
the Bosché vineyard has very deep gravelly soils. A seasonal creek crosses the vineyard
which causes the water table to be high in the spring, providing water and nutrients for
new shoot growth. As veraison approaches the water table drops, stressing the wines and
intensifying the dark velvety fruit flavors. This is a natural area to grow Bordeaux
varietals with dry farming or minimal drip irrigation.

Growing Season Notes: Abundant and later than usual rains marked the winter leading up to the 2019 season.
This provided good soil moisture to set a normal size crop with plenty of vigor. The
growing season was near perfect with moderate daytime temperatures and evening marine
influences, creating ideal ripening conditions. Harvest began shortly after Labor Day with
our Sauvignon Blanc grapes and concluded October 30 with our last pick of Cabernet
Sauvignon. The wines are fresh, fruit-driven and vibrant, indicative of a hallmark and
classically balanced vintage.
