2017 | Bogle Vineyards | Phantom Red

Intriguing, beguiling…this mysterious apparition of ripe berry and relentless spice returns to haunt wine lovers. Enveloped in shadow, this wine’s intensity and concentration will entice you with every sip. Full-bodied and jammy, Phantom’s origins of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel emerge from the glass. Spicy pepper and juniper tantalize your senses, while black plums and blueberries emerge on the palate. Notes of pipe tobacco and clove settle around the finish, long and lingering, like the Delta fog.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: An irresistible blackberry-jam aroma leads to warm baking spices and lots of black plum and milk chocolate in this full-bodied, perhaps slightly sweet, and luxuriously textured wine.

• Wilfred Wong: The 2017 Bogle Vineyards Phantom Proprietary Red shows up with plenty of satisfaction for the wine drinker. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers aromas and flavors of black fruit and savory spices. Pair it with slow-braised meat dishes.

Producer Information

Bogle Vineyards is one of the largest wine producers in the USA. The first vines were planted by farmers Warren Bogle and his son Chris in 1968 as a side project. The first vines were planted on 20 acres (eight hectares) of land in Clarksburg, in California's Sacramento Delta. Initially selling the grapes to other wineries, Bogle Vineyards became a winery in its own right in 1979. Bogle is now one of the top 15 largest wineries in the US, producing over a million cases of wine a year. It is still family-owned and has found considerable success since the late 1990s, offering quality wines at reasonable prices. Bogle farms more than 1500 acres (600 hectares) of estate vineyards with the majority around Clarksburg and some in Lodi. In addition to this, fruit is brought in from growers all over California, including in El Dorado, Amador, Russian River Valley and Mendocino County, among others. Bogle's focus is on classic California grape varieties including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. There are also a handful of blended wines, and a fortified dessert wine made in the style of Port.
