2013 Bogle Vineyards California Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., pH 3.67, TA 0.53, $9.99. Released December 2014. Grapes were sourced from Russian River Valley, Monterey hills, and Clarksburg Delta. Aged 10 months in French and American oak. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Highly aromatic, with scents of black cherry, black raspberry, spice, rose and vanilla persisting over time in the glass. Plenty of tasty dark berry and dark stone fruit accented with spice and vanilla from complimentary oak. The broad-shouldered tannins are well matched to the fruit load, making the wine easy to drink. This wine will stand up to substantial, hearty foods. It reminds me of the highly popular Meiomi California Pinot Noir in style and flavor. A crazy value. I challenge you to find a better California Pinot Noir at this price! Widely distributed. Score: 89. Reviewed May 14, 2015
