2012 Bogle "Essential Red" Old Vine Red Blend

SKU #1178085 91 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark *#3 in The Top 100 Best Buys of 2014* This dry red blend is as sophisticated, structured and balanced as many high-end Cabernets. Made from old vine Zin, with Syrah, Cabernet and Petite Sirah as well, it has a deep, exotic aroma of dark fruit plus cedar and cardamom. The flavor is richly fruity, the mouthfeel is firmly textured and the finish lingers nicely. It's medium bodied and full-flavored. Inner quote mark (11/2014)

Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark A great quaff, with lively raspberry and caramel aromas that lead to jammy, easygoing flavors of cherry and sweet spice. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2017. (Web-2014) Inner quote mark

K&L Notes

This blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah is aged for 18 months in American and French oak. Intense, dark fruits with notes of vanilla and anise and a juicy, lingering finish. An outstanding value!

For this price and quality get outta town! This is going to be everyone's bring-to-a-party pick and not get nervous about everyone gulping it down immediately, and not embarrassed about bringing a sub-$10 wine either! This is a Zin-based red blend that is juicy and full without being cloyingly sweet. It retains balance and gets you in the mood...to drink more!

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.
