Tasting note
Black currant, juniper, leather, and black pepper lead into blackberry and dried apricot. Juicy acidity keeps the palate lively, while soft tannins, berry preserve, savory herbs, and toasted oak shape the finish.

About Bogle Vineyards
The wine spent 12 months in two-year-old American oak, adding a toasted edge while preserving its fruit-forward character.
From the cellar: pair with
Wood-fired mushroom pizza
The pizza's char and earthy mushrooms complement the Zinfandel's toasted oak, pepper, and savory herbs.
Pasta with tomato sauce
Tomato's acidity meets the wine's juicy freshness, while the sauce supports its ripe berry fruit.
Grilled pork chop
Grilled pork has enough savory weight for the ripe fruit and picks up the wine's black-pepper finish.
