Description
Bosché will always hold a special place in our heart as our very first single vineyard Cabernet produced in 1968. Nestled in the heart of the Rutherford Bench, the vineyard has the ideal terroir for growing elegant and balanced Cabernet. The wine opens with aromas of blueberry, kirsch, graphite, and forest floor. The palate is rich and supple with notes of black fruit compote, cedar, cigar box, and mocha. The tannins are already silky and integrated which means it drinks wonderfully now and will age gracefully for decades.

Bosché Vineyard

100% Bosché Vineyard, a small 22 acre vineyard 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 indicates 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.
