Freemark Abbey Bosché Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Freemark Abbey Bosché Cabernet Sauvignon is a virtuoso among wines, an articulation of arias in a harmonious libretto. It begins with a breath – ripened dark cherries whispering secrets to blackberries under a twilight sky. An essence of graphite sings of ancient stones in the soil below, overlaid by cedar’s timbered depth from its reverent barrel aging. The profile is a mosaic, dark fruit compote juxtaposed with a forest’s understory, all enlivened by the spice of life: cinnamon, clove, and the bittersweet romance of dark chocolate. These complex expressions take form in the mouthfeel – a magisterial tapestry woven with velvet threads, substantial yet whispering soft to the palate. A long finish summons the discipline of fruit acidity, a balanced epilogue to an epicurean narrative. The wine is a testament not just to the soil that bore it, but to the hands that fostered its genesis, and the impeccable palate awaiting its discovery.
