Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

By separately aging and then blending four clones of Cabernet Sauvignon into one big, bold wine we can allow each clone to bring its own personality to the party. Enjoy aromas of juicy red plum and black raspberry with medium to full-bodied flavors of cinnamon-sprinkled black cherries.

Beginning with a high-toned, red-fruited nose, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake Hills offers aromas of juicy red plum and black raspberry with subtle notions of lavender and violet. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers flavors of cinnamon-sprinkled black cherries with an element of vanilla and mocha before ending with a delightfully lingering finish. It should drink well for the next 5-6 years.

Editor’s Choice – Outstanding, 91 pts.

Plush and brooding, offering solid structure and rich, distinctive flavors of plump blackberry and spiced red cherry with generous portions of mocha, anise, graphite and loamy earth notes. Well-defined tannins frame the elegant and expressive finish.

Bosma 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon – The grapes were sourced from the Diamondback Ridge vineyard, and this wine was released in the Fall of 2019. It’s one of the best of the winery Cabs, maybe because it’s got a bit of bottle age and the abv is a more moderate 14.3%. I like the detail and texture, the highlights of citrus and the core flavors of crushed strawberries. The overall balance is spot on. Drink now and over the next five years. 97 cases; 14.3%; $42 (Rattlesnake Hills) 90/100

Bosma 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon – Also sourced from the Diamondback Ridge vineyard, this wine was released in the Fall of 2020. It’s a ripe, rich, full-bodied Cab, with plenty of red and black fruits and a wash of chocolatey oak. There’s a vein of cinnamon spice running down the center palate, and the tannins are ripe and proportionate. This wine has the structure to drink well through the rest of this decade. 185 cases; 14.9%; $42 (Rattlesnake Hills) 91/100

Bosma 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon – Sourced from the Diamondback Ridge vineyard and released in the Fall of 2021. It’s closer to the 2017 than the 2018 but all three are nicely reflective of both vineyard and winemaking style. This is especially spicy with a deep vein of cinnamon, cherry and cassis fruit and accents of toast and coffee. All in all it’s a palate-pleasing wine with ripe tannins and good length. 145 cases; 14.5%; $42 (Rattlesnake Hills) 90/100

Bosma Estate Winery 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon • 94 pts.

This single-vineyard estate red is multi-dimensional, blended with no less than four different Cabernet clones. Broad and concentrated, offering expressive aromas of dark berries and sweet oak, the suave palate is filled with cassis, rich blackberry and distant red cherry tethered to the smooth finish by nuances of vanilla, coconut and barrel spice. This library wine is a joy to drink now, and will only continue to improve with up to a few more years of cellar aging.
