Friday Wine Tasting…Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel

January 14, 2012

Wine of the Week

Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel

$9.97

Today is the first time in weeks that it actually feels like winter and I think I might have even seen a flurry or two so I thought I would kick off the weekend with a bottle of red.  Bogle wines are some of my favorites and this one definitely does not disappoint.  It is perfect for a January night and a great price point!  Happy Friday!

Cheers.

Tasting Notes:

The nose had a strong cedar aroma, like opening a cedar chest.  There was also a bit of blackberry and plum on the nose. The mouth feel is very full and satisfying.  The palate has big blackberry and plum flavors.  It’s a bit jammy, but not too much so.  A little walnut is also in there and there’s some mid-palate chocolate.  A super spicy finish that makes this quite enjoyable.  -Tim Lemke
