Bogle Essential Red 2011 Old Vine Zinfandel Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Petite Syrah

2014/04/04 by Graham Getty Leave a Comment

Bogle Essential Red 2011Reds-Glass | $9 | Decanter | Solid Big Red from California. Bogle makes great wines (their Petite Sirah varietal is awesome) but here they mixed their great wines into a good, solid blend. Blackberry, oak, medium tannin (inside of cheeks will feel dry and dusty after your swish inside) and long finish make this a great house big red if you like big flavor and medium-big tannins in your wines. Perfect for grilling steak or having with sharp cheese. NOTE: some people think tannins = headaches and that’s just not the case or at least not always. Tannins can come from oak barrels (subtle) and the grape skins themselves (big). If you think wine gives you a headache check to see if you have oak / tree allergy and steer towards wines fermented without barrels – you can taste the wood in this, and it is a solid wine that delivers good flavor at great value.
