Bogle Family Vineyards Essential Red 2023

The 2023 Essential Red Blend is a bold and deeply colored wine, driven by Petite Sirah and Teroldego, which anchor the blend with intensity and structure. Aromas of bramble berry, ripe plum and boysenberry are layered with subtle notes of black currant, creating a dark, expressive fruit profile. Aged for one year in a thoughtful combination of American and French oak, the wine reveals warm accents of vanilla, mocha and a hint of tiramisu. On the palate, it is generous and well-rounded, with a full, enveloping mouthfeel. The finish is long and composed, marked by refined, chalky tannins that provide structure while maintaining approachability.

Both essential and versatile, this wine pairs equally well with barbecue ribs and seared duck breast. We also suggest a rich pasta with truffle oil and parmesan cheese.

AGING: 12 months in a combination of American and French oak

The Bogle family has been farming in the Sacramento River Delta for six generations. The first 20 acres of vines were planted in 1968 near the small farming community of Clarksburg. Today Bogle Vineyards farms over 1,500 acres of wine grapes in the Clarksburg AVA and other select California winegrowing regions including Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi and Amador and Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from the cool Monterey and Russian River Valley AVA’s. The Bogle family’s deep respect for the land and generational commitment to putting consistent, honest value in every bottle is rooted in one over-arching philosophy: the family is involved in every detail of the business. And they are some of the nicest folks you’ll ever meet!
