Cabernet Bosche

2009 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Freemark Abbey Cabernet Bosche from the esteemed Rutherford region is a stunning expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. This 2009 vintage showcases a rich red color that hints at the wine's bold character. On the palate, it is full-bodied, offering a mouthwatering experience with its high acidity that provides vibrancy and freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruit flavors such as blackcurrant and plum, complemented by subtle notes of cocoa and vanilla from oak aging. Tannins in this wine are notable, contributing to its structure and longevity, making it a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate complexity in a glass. With a dry finish, it perfectly balances richness and elegance, making it highly enjoyable with hearty dishes or on its own.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
