Bogle Vineyards Zinfandel Old Vine Clarksburg 2023 750ml

Bogle Vineyards · Clarksburg · California · 2023

There is something quietly extraordinary about a vine that has been growing in the same spot for sixty, seventy, eighty years. It has survived drought and frost, boom years and lean ones, and in doing so has learned to give less — and mean more. Bogle Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel is the direct expression of that patience: a wine drawn from head-trained vines planted decades ago in the rich delta soils of Clarksburg, where the Sacramento River keeps the summers honest and the nights cool.

The nose leads with cranberry, raspberry, and ripe red cherry, then deepens into marionberry pie and warm baking spices — cinnamon, clove, a hint of vanilla. On the palate it’s generous and round, with the kind of fruit-forward richness that Zinfandel does best, balanced by enough structure to carry it through a long, satisfying finish.
