Bogle Essential Red 2019

Cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant before serving.

This seductive red blend opens with red cherry, cranberry and currant jam aromas which follow through onto the palate. The first sip reveals a big personality with a full body, smooth tannins and silky mouthfeel. Subtly sweet on the finish, the Bogle Essential Red is an ideal partner for rich tomato-based pasta dishes like rigatoni bolognese or a classic hamburger and fries.

Made with old vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah grapes, this easy-going red is aged in American oak barrels for 12 months in the Bogle family cellars to add extra complexity and hints of toast and spicy cedar.

The Bogle family have been farming in Clarksburg in California for six generations with winemaking becoming an important part of the business some 50 years ago. The winery is currently in the hands of siblings, Warren, Jody, and Ryan, who are passionate about viticulture. The trio have a strong focus on sustainability with a view to eventually handing over the estate to the new generation. Now their growers meet the strict requirements of the California Rules for Sustainability and almost all of the grapes crushed at Bogle meet the demanding Certified Green standards.
