Bogle Vineyards 2008 Petite Sirah

The Winery:  Bogle Vineyards
The Wine:  2008 Petite Sirah
The Price:  $9.99 at Safeway

Bogle is a California winery, located in the Sacramento delta.  The grapes used in this wine are from Clarksburg and Lodi.  

The wine bottle was stopped with a natural cork and decanted an hour before tasting.  The wine is dark purple in color and has aromas of blueberry, plum and toast.

This is a fairly tannin-intense wine, with flavors of cranberry, blackberry, plum, vanilla and tobacco.  The wine is well balanced and has plenty of nicely developed flavors.  If you're a fan of Petite Sirah, this is definitely one wine that you should check out for yourself.
