Description
In a nutshell:
An intense and concentrated wine made with the archetypal grape of California.
The lowdown:
Low yielding vines ranging in age from 60 to 80 years old are used here; they're all dry farmed, no irrigation, and give small concentrated clusters of grapes which reach a high degree of richness. The result is a big and bold wine filled wth rich, ripe fruits and sweet spice yet with a nicely vibrant feel and a touch of Black Forest Gateau. Sensitive use of American oak in which the wine spends 12 months gives the finished product the ideal balance and delicious, softly spicy finish.
The Producer:
Bogle Vineyards are a real family enterprise in every sense of the word. It was Captain AJ Bogle, an American Civil War veteran who first arrived in California in the 1870s, that started things off. He became a fruit farmer in the California Delta and passed his business down through the generations. However, they lost the business during the Great Depression of the 1930s. It wasn't until after the war that father and son Warren and Chris Bogle (the 4th and 5th generations) acquired land and planted their first vineyards in Clarksburg, California in 1965 since when they've grown steadily over the years from less than 10 hectares to the point where they now have more than 600 hectares of vines across the region. The estate is now overseen by Chris Bogle's sons Warren Junior and Ryan and daughter Jody. Warren looks after viticulture and Eric Aafedt, who has been with Bogle since 1994 is the head winemaker. All their vineyards are sustainably farmed and their wines enjoy an enviable reputation both in their home market and overseas.
When to drink:
Superbely mouthfilling, this is just great with top quality grilled or barbecued sausages.
Suitable for Vegans
