The Bogle Essential Red 2013 is a luxurious red wine blend of Old Vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah. Flavors of sweet cherry and boysenberry cascade in rich, fruity layers. The palate is silky and juicy, with warm flavors of vanilla from the oak aging. The finish is long and echoes with flavors of black licorice and tobacco.
