Abstract:
One Napa Valley red wine that has a long production history and consistency in style and taste is Freemark Abbey's Bosché Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. With an average case production of 2,500, the vineyard-designate wine comprises about 5% of Freemark Abbey's annual production, which includes 30,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon.

How does the viticulture and winemaking practices come together to create the final wine? An interview with Ted Edwards, director of winemaking at Freemark Abbey of St. Helena, Calif., sheds light on the practices.
