The Bogle family has been active in agriculture for more than 100 years. Since the end of the 1960s, grapes have also been grown in the California wine region of Clarksburg and later also Lodi. The Zinfandel grapes come from the vineyards in Lodi and Amador County. The vineyards are on average between 60-80 years old hence the name Old Vines. The Zinfandel grapes have spent 12 months on second-year American oak.
The Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel is juicy with sweet ripe fruit and a distinctive texture with harmonious tannins and a nice long spicy finish. In the glass the Zinfandel has an intense ruby color with strong tears; striking spicy nose with black plums and meaty smoked undertone. The Bogle Zinfandel is a powerful wine with complex aromas of pomegranate, pepper and anise.
Bogle is certified by various bodies: California Certified Sustainable Winegrowing, Lodi Rules Certified Green Certificate and the "Sacramento Area Sustainable Business" Certificate.
