Bogle Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel, California, 750 Millilitre, $9.99
Head-trained, dry farmed Zinfandel vines planted by early California pioneers have endured for generations, unwavering through myriad challenges and the test of time. Producing small, concentrated clusters of grapes, these vines demonstrate the reward for patience and determination. It is these noble vines that Bogle winemakers rely on to create our intriguing Old Vine Zinfandel. Classic zinfandel is typically characterized by spice, and this wine is no exception. On the nose juniper, black pepper, and spicy nutmeg awaken the senses. Flavors of cranberries and raspberries tantalize the palate, leading to notes of red fruits, marionberry pie, and baking spices. This bold Old Vine Zinfandel has a full, velvety mouthfeel and a long, round finish. This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of foods like grilled sausages with caramelized onions and peppers, tandoori chicken and gorgonzola cheese.
