Bogle's Heritage Petite Sirah celebrates 50 years of family farming history.
Planted by his grandfather in 1968, this red vineyard is truly rooted in Clarksburg history.
Aging the powerful Petite Sirah in barrels for a year results in a wine that is incredibly structured, yet extremely approachable, with great color and depth.
On the palate, aromas of green fruits and boysenberry stimulate the senses, with lingering hints of black pepper and spice.
The finish has ripe textured tannins that are wonderfully softened by 12 months of aging in American oak.
This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, such as smoked lamb shoulder with rosemary, braised short ribs with blackberry barbecue sauce, and smoked Gouda.
Bogle, a company known throughout the United States, has been farming in Clarksburg, California, near Sacramento, for six generations.
It has been more than 50 years since the third generation first planted Chenin Blanc and Petite Sirah as wine grapes here.
The family's hard work, honesty and dedication have been passed down to the sixth generation, and the winery has grown into one of America's leading wineries.
No matter how big they get, their passion for wine growing and the quality of their wines remain the same, with the whole family working together to produce great wines.
The fact that they have many fans in Japan who say that no matter which variety they drink, it's always delicious is proof that they continue to uphold the will of their predecessors.
And now, their new job is to "continue to protect the land and the environment so that the next six generations can continue to live in the same place.
" and supports the transition to sustainable agriculture not only in our own fields but also in our contracted fields throughout California.
