Sourced from old vine vineyards across California’s Lodi and Amador County regions, this 100% Zinfandel expression showcases the concentrated fruit and natural intensity that comes from mature, low-yielding vines. Bottled at 14.5% ABV, the wine spends ten months maturing in two-year-old American oak barrels, adding subtle vanilla and spice notes without overwhelming the vibrant fruit core. The 2021 vintage earned Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, while Wine Enthusiast has consistently rated recent releases at 90 points, praising the wine’s energy and fresh fruit clarity.

Nose: Aromas of cranberries and raspberries greet the senses, layered with juniper, black pepper, and spicy nutmeg. Hints of marionberry pie and baking spices add warmth and complexity to the bouquet.

Palate: Full-bodied and generously ripe, the palate reveals concentrated flavours of blackberry, dried plum, and red fruits. Moderate tannins provide structure without heaviness, while elevated acidity keeps the wine bright and lively. Vanilla and black pepper accents from oak ageing weave through the fruit, creating a bold yet balanced mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of dark berries, sweet baking spices, and a gentle warming character that invites another sip.

Pair Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel with barbecue ribs, wood-fired pizza with spicy sausage, or a selection of aged hard cheeses.

Serve at room temperature, ideally between 16-18°C, in a large red wine glass to allow the aromatics to fully express themselves.

A fantastic choice for home entertaining, casual dinner parties, or as a reliable everyday pour for Zinfandel enthusiasts who value quality and consistency.
