Hmm…I’ve had the Vampire wine (it’s horrid) but would be willing to give this vineyard a try. It sounds delicious.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Phantom has reappeared…Bogle’s heady apparition of fierce berry and sensual spice returns to haunt wine lovers. Marked by a bright entry, a full-bodied mid palate and a firm finish, this wine showcases the best of these three unique varietals.
Rich black raspberries and briary boysenberries vividly surround the nose and palate, while the decadence of cocoa-dusted pomegranate is enticingly complex. Touches of juniper, cedar and black pepper edge toward the full-bodied fruit, charming you to take another sip. Over two years in 1, 2 and 3 year old American oak capture and concentrate the essence of the Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Mourvedre, creating yet another luscious and intense red wine, impossible to ignore.
Though the wine is remarkable now, age in the bottle will only integrate these distinct varietals more. Welcome the winery ghost into your home again with this latest vintage, and enjoy with full-flavored and hearty meals…before it vanishes
Thank you so much for reblogging this and for the additional comments. I always enjoy Bogle wines and also the fact that they’re just down the road from where I Iive. The Phantom is seasonal in sales – I got mine at Cost Plus, but I’m sure it can be found in most Northern California grocery stores with a good wine selection.
Now you are talking my language!
One day we’ll sit down and have that glass of wine together!
