Bogle, Petite Sirah, California

Deep purple color. 14.5% abv. Notable legs. Aromas plums and dark berries, black pepper and black liquorice. Fruit with low to moderate tannins and acidity. Good balance. Smooth taste that evolves to a long balanced finish that allows the peppery flavor to show itself. M: 13+22+22+33=90 J: 12+22+22+31=87

This bottle was more like it should be. Without a doubt the best Petit Sirah you can buy for the money. Big and fruity with plum and blueberry that is slightly sweet and a firm, but subtle, acidity. It fills the mouth and fruit is long lasting after swallowing

2016 vintage

I like it!

2016 vintage

Thin and monolithic, Basic acceptable wine, no outstanding features

2016 vintage

Thin. No depth.

PNP. No real depth or secondary flavors but easy to drink and tasty up front. An excellent wine for the price.

2016 vintage

Funky plum. Always a big fan of bogle.

2016 vintage

Good full smooth and dark.

2016 vintage

very sweet smell, like cake. Upon opening the bottle first taste was initially very sweet blueberry on the nose. Very strong chewy tannins throughout. The taste seemed to ultimately fall flat and become bland (like drinking flat coca cola but with chewy tannins).

2016 vintage

I used this wine for cooking a red mushroom sauce which was adequate for the price. Drinking some along with the simmering. Not bad for the price.

2016 vintage

Plesent for 8 bucks. Touch of leather

2016 vintage

Really liked it. Get it again

2016 vintage

Nice nose with red fruit and tobacco. Finish is awkward and with a distinct chemical after taste. Not bad for the price but would not go out of my way.

Petite Sirah Blind Tasting at Chris & Rich's House (Temecula, CA) : Tasted blind. Brick red color; red plums, cocoa, tobacco; smooth and light. non-offensive, but nothing special. Groups #7 rated wine (last).

2016 vintage

Some !2.00 wines are memorable... this one however is not. Absolutely no nose, fruit or finish ordinary would be an improvement!

2016 vintage

Full-bodied, dark berries, a bit fruity.

2016 vintage

Ordinary.

2016 vintage

Very nice dark fruits, sweet mild tannins, slight cedar and spice flavors and ever so slight tart finish, good; when I bought 6 bottles in 08, I wrote that it was "very meaty with good deep fruit".

2006 vintage

Very pleasant. Bottle, maybe just a little past its prime. If you have a bottle, drink it soon!

2005 vintage

simple, a bit grape juice like

2006 vintage

An excellent wine still. May be better now than when younger. Smooth, tannins balanced out.

2005 vintage

This is for a 3 liter bottle. This wine benefited from the bottle size, based on a 750ml bottle consumed a few years ago. Everyone really liked this one. I wasn't sure how much longer the large bottle could be cellared, but it seems like you could push it a little longer. Everyone commented about how good it was, I didn't tell them I only paid $45 about 6 years ago for it.

2005 vintage

From a 3ltr. This wine probably benefited from the bttl size. Taste has plenty of fruit and a decent amount of tannin. Nose of mostly dark fruit. Still surprisingly dark purple in color with just a hint of garnet in the rim. The table for 14 is set with 4 generic bttls filled with this juice. No one will ever know how cheap this stuff was.

2005 vintage

This is not my cup of tea. Thin mouthfeel. Favors seemed muted to me. This was a 3 Liter bottle.

2005 vintage

Very pleasant, easy to drink. Not very powerful but a pleasant cherry taste.

2006 vintage

I agree with last couple of notes - nice QPR and i think Bogle is solid producer. Nose has nice dark fruit/plum. Palate is verging off dry - but sweet spice/plum/cherry. Smooth and short/medium finish. Perhaps showing age slightly - and no reason to hang on to this vintage. Perhaps reason to seek out newer varietials from Bogle...Enjoy

2006 vintage

Drinking nicely at this point. The massive youthful fruit has mellowed as have the tannins. This wine seems to always improve with some mid term cellar time.

2005 vintage

Full fruit forward, easy drinking, no tannin, mainly red and blue fruit.

2005 vintage

Intense nose of blackberry and blackcurrant. Full bodied with a ripe fruitiness and soft tannins…too “non-tannic” for a Petite Sirah. Lot of dark fruit on the palate, almost sweet, and overbearing toasty vanilla. To me, it seems the old recipes for industrial wine: super ripe fruit and oak. Perhaps I’ve hold too much on it. I might have to retry a recent vintage (retail $8.99)

2006 vintage

Quite nice. Muted nose, but a burst of dark plum/cherry fruits on the palate, and a decently long herbal finish, with noticeable, slightly gritty but integrated tannins. Fantastic QPR.

2006 vintage

I'll add more to my cellar as the deals come up. It's well worth having on hand. Not afraid to serve to my inner circle.

2006 vintage

Simple, very drinkable, fruity with a hint of spice. Very smooth with a hint of heat at the end. I could see myself scoring this much higher if drinking blind.

2006 vintage

Tested at 74 deg F. Pop and Pour. Powdery nose of sweet spice, dark fruit (cassis, currant, perhaps plum), and hints of strong herbs (e.g. rosemary). In the mouth strong sour ripe, deep and slightly layered dark fruit (cassis, currant, plum) with spice (pepper, cinnamon) and hints of sweetness and herbs with slightly fuzzy tannins. Finishes with a delightful sweet and sour hum of fruit (dark plum and cassis) and a bit of heat from the alcohol. Body medium plus, …

2006 vintage

smooth

2006 vintage

This one is drinking well at present and has benefitted from a couple years. Before aeratiing for a couple hours it has nice cherry aroma and coffee finish. After 2hrs it opens up to very charming wine with ripe red fruit cassis and a long chewy finish with plenty of dark berry overtones and nice acidity for some tartness on top with darker moderate but drying tannihs, with toast and burnt almond dark chocolate in the finish.

2006 vintage

Tief purpurrot; mittlere Nase mit viel Cassis und dunkler Johannisbeere, etwas Bacon, floral-würzigen Noten und einem Schuß Mineralik; am Gaumen vollmundig, saftig-würzig, leicht süß, anfangs feine Bitternote im Abgang, Massen an Tannin, etwas "heißblütig", ordentlicher Abgang; gutes PLV!

2006 vintage

Jammy dark fruits great value

2006 vintage

Very nice - we rate this a 90 - It was great with a nice rib eye.

2006 vintage

Nice bottle and very good QPR. Tannins were just about right. Only negative was the average finish. Would be happy drinking this again

2006 vintage

Although not great immediately after opening (maybe an 84), this wine improved on the 2nd evening and was even more complex on the 3rd evening (88 rating was for the 3rd evening). Definitely decant this one.

2005 vintage

Juice.

2006 vintage

ok but not great, has a vegetabley taste

2005 vintage

Not as much on the nose with this bottle, definitely herbal aspects. Good balance, medium body. Good value.

2006 vintage

Purple with a dark red core. Nose of creamy strawberries and raspberries, with some cassis and leather. Strong but sweet blueberries and dark cherries, some tartness, grippy tannins, and a medium to long chocolaty finish. Nicely balanced and very good QPR.

2006 vintage

Opened and let sit for about 30 minutes. Ran each glass through the vinturi. Fruit forward and simple, but not fake. A bit sweet, but nice. Probably scored a few points higher, since I was watching the game.

2006 vintage

Consistently a great value

2006 vintage

Had another bottle in cellar....open, let it air out....much better than bottle I had last year...very nice.

2006 vintage

Nose of plum, vanilla, chocolate, and hints of basil. Dusty raspberry, sour cherry, and molasses on the palate. Pretty decent wine and excellent QPR at $10. Slightly better than the 2007.

2006 vintage

Are you sure?
