Drew's Tasting Note

I am a massive fan of Zinfandel, and this one is utterly delicious. Luscious aromas and flavours of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries with hints of rosemary and vanilla. Beautifully integrated oak. A long and lingering finish.

The Winery

For the Old Vine Zinfandel, the winemakers at Bogle seek out the gnarly, head-trained, and dry-farmed pioneering vines, ranging in age from 60 to 80, first planted by European immigrants in the early 1900s. These old vines produce low yields of small, concentrated fruit clusters, which create intense and flavourful wines.

Warren Vernon Bogle, fourth generation, planted the first wine grapes in 1968 at the Bogle family’s Home Ranch in Clarksburg, California. Ten years later, they began releasing wine bearing the family name, and the original winery, constructed in 1979, still stands.
