"From the well-known Rutherford vineyard located on the alluvial fan on the west side of Rutherford, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Bosche Vineyard is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot aged 24 months in French oak. This mature 2002 exhibits plenty of creme de cassis, vanillin, cedarwood, licorice, underbrush and forest floor notes in a medium to full-bodied, richly fruity, seductive style. Although not the most concentrated wine of the vintage, it is beautifully round, elegant, and ideal for drinking now and over the next decade."
