Bogle Vineyards 'Heritage' Petite Sirah 2017 (California)

Description

• Blueberry 
• Plum 
• Rhubarb 
• Structural finish

Dark purple stains the glass. The aromas are spicy, fruity and savoury. Inky and succulent blueberries and blackberries overwhelm the palate. Juicy plums and rhubarb come together, followed by touches of roasted, savory and earthy tones that round out the mouthfeel. Supple and spicy. Toasty vanilla, mocha and a bit of cocoa combine with ample tannins to create a finish with structure and character.

The Bogle family has been farming since the mid-1800’s. Though it was not until 1968 that the father and son team of Warren and Chris Bogle planted their first 20 acres of wine grapes in Clarksburg, California. Today Bogle Vineyards farms over 1,500 acres of grapes. While the winery was established ten years after the first grapes were planted, its success has grown tremendously along with the vineyards. The Petite Sirah has been named 'Heritage' because this was the first variety planted by the Bogle's back in 1968.

Six generations of Bogle’s have worked the soils of this fabulous wine region and good stewardship has always been of utmost importance. Today all of the Bogle’s 1,500 acres are currently farmed under the State of California CCSW sustainability guidelines. Additionally the Bogle family is currently one of just a few wineries who pays a bonus to winegrowers who enroll their vineyards in the 'Certified Green' sustainability program. As Bogle winemaker's believe that taking care of our land and preserving its vitality is not only their responsibility, but will allow the next generation to enjoy many bountiful harvests for years to come.

Each and every Bogle wine created is a unique and exciting blend with true varietal character and an approachable style. With their deep commitment to quality, the Bogle family would not have it any other way.

Food Pairing: Perfectly pairing with Swiss chard ravioli with sage butter sauce.
