Bogle Vineyards Petite Sirah Clarksburg Port 2008

Ripe summer blackberries and plums overwhelm both the nose and palate of this wine. Its trademark inky, jammy qualities are a barrage of black fruit and spice, adding layer upon layer of complexity. Notes of supple leather and toasty oak envelop the flavors through the finish, giving way to wisps of caramel and vanilla. The firm tannins make this a wine that can develop for years to come, but you won't want to wait that long to enjoy it!

Bogle is a consistent source of top-value Petite Sirah. Black pepper and spicy nuances enhance this wine's plum, berry and cherry flavors, with everything nestled in a comfortable bed of oak. Smooth and harmonious.

This was a panel favorite for an affordable, value wine. Itrsquo;s simple and richly flavored with blackberry, cherry and chocolate notes, and has firm, dry tannins. The pretty fruit flavors and oriental spices last through the finish.

Ripe and juicy, this full-bodied red is brimming with spicy red cherry and blueberry flavors, a generous mouthfeel, and a kiss of smoky oak to finish it all off.

First produced in 1978 by the Bogle family, this 2004 Petite Sirah is considered Boglersquo;s ldquo;heritagerdquo; varietal. On the nose, luscious boysenberry teases you along with touches of black pepper and herbs. Trademark inky and jammy tones fill the mouth with ripe fruit and berries. The voluptuous finish lingers with toasty oak and lush fruit. The firm tannins make this a wine that can develop for years to come, but you wonrsquo;t want to wait that long to enjoy it! Try this unique wine with rich meat dishes of lamb, pork or game and their hearty sauces.

Pizza? Lasagna? This is the perfect inexpensive wine. Itrsquo;s full-bodied and brawny, and totally dry, with big tannins and fresh, deep flavors of blackberries, coffee, cocoa and dried leather. Shows real character, and will develop for a few years.

This wine is packed with flavor, from bright cherry, cranberry and raspberry, to spicy plum, currants and black pepper. Vivid and lively, with a sense of richness from the dense fruit, yet light enough to enjoy on its own. Itrsquo;s hard to imagine a wine with more flavor for the dollar.
