Bogle 2006 Petite Sirah
I’ve been really into petite sirah wines as of late. Many of the ones I’ve had from California are good and they aren’t super expensive. I’ve seen the Bogle petite sirah many times at my local grocery store, but I’ve never bothered to try it out, well, until now …

The Bogle has a good garnet-purple color. This appears to be somewhat standard for the petite sirahs I’ve had recently. I get hints of flowers on the nose, lavender and lilacs. Overall the nose is very balanced, I also get hints of coffee cake. That sounds strange, but it definitely reminds me of the topping on coffee cake. It has a good mouth feel, medium-bodied. The taste is subtle, but after a few sips I’m sure I’ve got the flavor figured out. Blueberries and tobacco, I’m not kidding. The finish is lengthy and polished by soft tannins. This is a great wine, especially for the price (<$14). I will definitely buy this again.
