2019 | Bogle Vineyards | Chardonnay

Green apple and pear aromas classically characterize this wine as Clarksburg, while honeycomb and vanilla heighten the first impression. The rich, round entry rolls into a viscous and silky mouthfeel, surrounded by Asian pears and Honeycrisp apples. The finish lingers long and soft, like the wafting aromas of grandma’s warm apple pie.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This full-bodied wine tastes bold and oaky, from the aroma of buttered toast to ripe apple flavors shaded by baking spices, butter and hints of wood smoke. It has good acidity to keep it lively, and will appeal especially to fans of big Chardonnay.

• Wine Magazine: Almost overwhelming on the nose and very densely interwoven with intense fruity notes of yellow, ripe fruit, some honey and nashi pear. This Chardonnay is a little lighter on the palate, but it is powerful and intense. Fruit and wood notes are balanced with their compact fullness. A good sparring partner for the Easter barbecue with juicy entrecote in the garden or corn-fed chicken from the oven with roasted vegetables.

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.
