Bogle Vineyards Pinot Noir 2016 (California)

Description

Heady scents of ripe summer strawberries make a lovely first impression, while hints of crushed violets and sweet dried herbs resonate on the nose.  Refined and nuanced, the mouthfeel softens as layers of cherry fruit are wrapped in a comforting blanket of pipe tobacco and worn leather. The firm, yet lingering finish is perfectly balanced with touches of baking spices, fragrant fruit and earth tones.

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 winegrapes. While the winery was established ten years after the first grapes were planted, its success has grown tremendously along with the vineyards.

Bogle winemakers have sourced fruit from the best growing regions in California for the varietal.  The terroirs of the cool Russian River Valley, coastal Monterey hills and the unique
Clarksburg Delta all grow fruit of character and distinction.  Combined, the resulting wine is and elegant, classic Pinot Noir. 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: While you should feel free to enjoy this wine with nearly any food pairing, a few of our favorites are either a Swiss chard ravioli with sage butter sauce or mushrooms sautéed with garlic.
