Freemark Abbey, Napa Cabernet Bosche Vintage:2016 the red fruits are crispDeep garnet purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Bosch Vineyard comes prancing out of the glass with showy Black Forest cake, blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of unsmoked cigars, pencil lead, olives and morello cherries.
