The Bogle family has been farming in California since the mid 1800s, but it wasn’t until 1968 that father and son, Warren and Cris Bogle, planted wine grapes in Clarksburg, California, along the Sacramento River. Today Bogle farms over 1,200 acres in the Sacramento Delta region. The winery was established in 1978. Patty Bogle took over operation of the winery in 1989. Both of her sons are involved in the business as well.
Bogle is better known for several varietals other than Pinot Noir and is probably the largest California producer of Petite Sirah. Beginning with the 2003 vintage, they have hit the mark with value-priced Russian River Valley Pinot Noir in some vintages. There is widespread retail distribution of this value-play Pinot Noir.

2007 Bogle Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.2% alc.,
pH 3.62, $13, released March, 2009. From a family owned winery in
Clarksburg, CA producing multiple varietals from its Delta vineyards, but
having a good track record with value priced Pinot Noir as well. Aged 12
months in French and American oak.
·
A pretty solid wine for the fare
featuring a rich core of black cherry and black raspberry fruit with
underpinnings of exotic spices, dark chocolate, and smoke. The tannins are
restrained and the finish is pleasingly fruity albeit a touch hot. Widely distributed.

2006 Bogle Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., $12.
·
Smoky cherry-berry fruits with a
little good Pinot funk and whiff of oak char on the nose leading to simple and shallow fruit in the mouth that is
sensibly balanced with soft tannins and reasonable acidity.

2005 Bogle Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
17,000 cases, $13. The Bogle family has
been farming in California since the mid 1800s, but it wasn’t until 1968 that father and son, Warren and
Cris, planted wine grapes in Clarksburg, along the Sacramento River. Today they farm over 1,200

beginning with the 2003 vintage, they have really hit the mark with Pinot Noir. This Pinot was aged 12
months in French and American oak. There is widespread retail distribution.
·
This was one of my highest scoring Pinot Noirs. The aromas of
raspberries, cherries, roses, and a hint of oak are voluptuous. Mixed berry and black cherry fruit are racy
and sexy. The soft texture is Elvis on velvet. The tannins are soft and coating and the finish is clean and
bright. A complete wine that sings with food. It is almost impossible to find Pinot Noir of this quality at this
price point. Stock up.
