Château Boswell Chardonnay True Course

Creme brûlée all the way! Also gushing with lemon curd, apple pie filling, olive oil, hints of passionfruit/guava, and fresh whipped cream notes. More relaxed on the acid and grip this time around.…

Château Boswell Pinot Noir Absolutely Eloise Sun Chase Vineyard Sonoma Coast

CRISTAL's assessment is spot-on. Notes of black cherry, tobacco leaf, earthy cedar, and subtle woody spice. A decent amount of fruit here, with more focus than the overtly bombastic Rita's Pinot…

Château Boswell Chardonnay True Course

A beautiful Chardonnay, with a complexity of silky and sexy flavors that is hard to come by in most domestic Chards. Much richer and viscous than the Ritchie Chard served before it, this True Course…

Château Boswell Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard

Yellow citrus, white peach, yellow apple skin, lemon zest, and some white stone. Fairly acidic, but providing nice energy and lift, especially on the back end where the grip clenches the jaw and…

Château Boswell Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

The most complete of the Boswell reds in the lineup presented, this BTK showed a notable distribution of weight (especially mid-palate) and a medium-bodied flavor profile overall. Holding a bit firm…

Château Boswell Estate Reserve

60/40 CS/CF. Spicy black cherry, wild black raspberry, currant, black soil, rainbow peppercorn, Christmas spice, and hints of leather. The front end was heavy with spice, leading ahead of the fruit.…

Château Boswell Red Wine

I believe this is the "Tapestry" label, but CT has some name cross-pollination with calling it Tapestry and/or the Proprietary blend. It is labeled Tapestry in some vintages (through 2013) and…

Château Boswell Cabernet Sauvignon At Anchor

Black cherry dominated, with somewhat invasive menthol and evergreen notes swirling around additional flavors of forest floor and spice. Medium bodied and somewhat restrained overall, with the core…

Château Boswell Pinot Noir Absolutely Eloise Rita's Crown Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills

Once again, I concur with CRISTAL's on-point description of this wine. Much more modern indeed, especially in comparison to the Sun Chase served before it. Dark, dark black cherry, muddled ripe…

Château Boswell Pinot Noir Absolutely Eloise Bentrock Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills

Very similar to the Sonoma offering of the Eloise, with higher-toned, red fruit flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, incense, and alcohol-laced vanilla. Fairly linear on the attack, with a lithe,…

Château Boswell Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard

PnP with notes of honeysuckle, lemon, popcorn, pear, and quince. Finished with a stoney minerality; just a tad pithy and tart on the back end. Performed very well in the beginning, with a clipped…

Château Boswell Pinot Noir Absolutely Eloise Sonoma Coast

Decanted for approximately 2+ hours. Vibrant and flavorful, if just a little one-note, full of high-toned red berry fruits; strawberry, raspberry tart, and a bit of alcohol. Went down very smoothly,…

Château Boswell Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve

PnP with soft notes of plum, red currant, wood, and some spice. There were some additional forest floor and sage flavors that emerged in the glass over the course of an hour, adding interest to the…
