Expert Reviews — Vintage 2022
Wine Enthusiast (Tonya Pitts) 90 Points: Deep aromas of baked plum, coffee bean, dried bay leaf, cocoa, and dried florals on the nose. These aromas softly float into the palate giving flavors of dried cranberry, strawberry, and grilled orange rind, leaving the palate with grippy, mouthwatering tannins.

Winemaker Description
Bogle’s California Merlot opens with aromatics of Bing cherries, sassafras, and hints of pipe tobacco. Supple red fruits on the entry give way to touches of cedar and sweet herbs — an approachable, food-friendly Merlot that consistently over-delivers for the price.
Pairing Suggestions
- Poultry: Peking duck, roasted chicken with herbs, or turkey with cranberry sauce.
- Meat: Braised short ribs, pork tenderloin, or a classic beef stew.
- Cheese: Mild cheddar, Havarti, or a creamy Brie.

Gorgeous aromas of mocha and red fruits greet the nose, while enticing for that first sip, which doesn’t disappoint. Plush and soft on the entry, dark cherries and black plums permeate the mouthfeel. Ripe and juicy and easy to drink, the wine ages in American oak for 12 months, then finishes with touches of pipe tobacco, cedar and caramelized sugar.
Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2021
Stacy Briscoe of the Wine Enthusiast writes 88 Points - Best Buy | This full-bodied, hardy red maintains an element of freshness throughout. An underlying herbaceous and earthy tone balances out the rich, ripe fruit structure. Find notes of black cherry, black plum, licorice, cacao, fresh fennel, dried tobacco, cumin and black tea.
