Bogle Essential Red is a bold and richly textured blend of Petite Sirah, Teroldego, Zinfandel and Syrah that delivers a plush and juicy experience from first sip. The nose opens with a mix of ripe blackberries, blueberries and dark cherries, intertwined with notes of mocha, vanilla and cracked peppercorn. The palate bursts with juicy concentrated fruit flavors, lush dark plum and a hint of boysenberry leading the way. This wine features a plush, velvety entry, followed by a full-bodied mouthfeel that reveals fine tannins and balanced acidity. Both essential and versatile, this wine pairs equally well with barbeque ribs as it does with seared duck breast. We also suggest a rich pasta with truffle oil and parmesan cheese.
