WINEMAKER NOTES:
For years, Bogle winemakers have sought out vines ranging in age from 60 to 80 years old for the Old Vine Zinfandel. These gnarly head-trained and dry farmed pioneers produce low yields of small, concentrated clusters of fruit, producing incredibly intense and flavorful wines. This Zinfandel has notes of raspberries, peppercorns, juniper, dried herbs and vanilla. Pair with grilled sausages, tandoori chicken and Gorgonzola cheese.
TASTING NOTES:
This California Zin does not disappoint. An elevated acidity gives the wine energy, uplifting the fresh fruit notes of blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry. Well-integrated oak means a subtle dusting of nutmeg, star anise and clove. Tannins are a resolved, chalky texture, adding structural integrity and never distracting. Best Buy
