Hosanna 2008

Hosanna 2008 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Established by the Moueix family in 1999, Château Hosanna is a relatively young wine label in Pomerol. The estate comprises just 4.5 hectares of vineyards, cultivated with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The vines grow on a combination of red gravel soils layered with clay and some sand. The 2008 Chateau Hosanna is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. "Possibly as remarkable as both the 2009 and 2010, the 2008 Hosanna is one of the superstars of the vintage. Its dense plum/purple colour is followed by aromas and flavours of spring flowers, black currants, boysenberries, white chocolate and forest floor. This irresistible, opulent, textured, fleshy 2008 should continue to drink well for 15-20+ years. Don`t miss it!" Robert Parker, 2011
