Black currant and blackberry with a finish of juniper and a touch of rosemary. Super long finish.

The ‘Bossman’ is a stunning blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache and Viognier that was aged for twenty five months in 60% new French oak before bottling. High toned white flowers combine with lavender and blackberry compote on this expressive nose. The palate is deep, layered and exceptionally good as the wine delivers rich black fruits that mingle with shades of creosote, baking spices and mocha. Fantastic in its youth, the ‘Bossman’ tells you that it has a long way to go in the bottle. Drink 2019-2035- 94

Dark ruby red. Qutie floral on the nose with tons of bacon fat and dark fruits. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium body. Quite rich and plush on the attack with plums, black cherries and some minerality. A little dry in the long finish. Drink till 2021.

Crowd pleaser for sure.

2011. After waiting a year to open more of this, it was very worth it. Took the cake for me. Super concentrated with black fruit and cedar/leather and a nice flavor of black and red cherries came out after a while with a minutes long finish! Bravo.

Another BOSS vintage of boss man. 2012. This is so massively good, it deserves this moniker. Go for it. Now.

Lots gritty tannin for a wine that is so big and ripe. Not sappy but large and intense. Not my bag
