Chateau Boswell Chardonnay
The Chateau Boswell Chardonnay is produced from fruit from a premium vineyard in the Carneros appellation using a traditional Burgundian style process. The fruit is hand sorted and whole cluster pressed. The juice then settles overnight in a tank and is then barreled into 100% new French Oak. The native yeast fermentation process takes place in the barrel. The wine is kept one year on the lees, stirred every two weeks, and at one year it is, racked and then returned to the barrel to age for another six months. The wine goes through 100% malolactic fermentation creating a very smooth , dry, and elegant style Chardonnay with toasty aromas, citrus, and nutmeg sensory characteristics

Chateau Boswell Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Chateau Boswell Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has a limited production annually of less than 400 cases and is produced from fruit grown organically in our two small vineyards, both with a unique soil composition of volcanic ash, red clay, and obsidian. The newer hillside vineyard is planted with French and local proprietary clones and the Heritage valley floor vineyard is planted with one of the earliest French Cabernet Sauvignon proprietary clones brought to America. It is the marriage of the fruit of these two vineyards that creates a consistently supple wine with intense dark fruit and complex sensory components.

Jacquelynn Cuvèe
This limited release is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and14% Cabernet Franc sourced from premium Napa Valley hillside vineyards. The 2002 vintage is dark and intense with aromas of blueberry and cocoa that lead to a solid core of rich black currant. On the palate this wine exhibits tremendous density and concentration, yet retains exquisite balance with well integrated tannins and a smooth lingering finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon based blend marks the first release from Joshua & Jacquelynn Peeples continuing the tradition of family winemaking for Chateau Boswell Winery.

Jacquelynn Syrah
A New World Syrah in terms of weight, opulence and fruit concentration, this wine also achieves a classic structure and an ultra- rich finish. The main thrust of this wine is of ripe blue fruits and wild blueberry while still displaying the more typical Syrah characteristics of flint, meatiness, and toast.
This limited release was sourced from vineyards just north of Chateau Boswell off of the Silverado Trail in Calistoga. The entire vineyard is farmed organically, with nearly half of the block young vines with stellar potential, utilizing grafts from some of the Napa Valley's first Syrah clones. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, and neither filtered nor fined.
