Winemaker Notes
The long growing season of 1999 delivered grapes from our Clarksburg vineyards full of ripeness and rich in development. The resulting wine is our most distinctive and complex Merlot yet! Aromas of ripe cherries and plums framed in spicy oak compliment this perfectly balanced Merlot. On the palate the abundant fruit is beautifully integrated with the soft, yet ample tannins. Enjoy this wine with a wide range of meals: from pasta with a light red sauce to hearty meat dishes. Pair with grilled lamb with roasted garlic and wild mushrooms or gruyere cheese.

Although the Bogle family has been farming since the 1800's, it wasn't until 1968 that the father and son team of Warren and Chris Bogle planted their first 20 acres of wine grapes in Clarksburg, California. Clarksburg is a small farming community nestled in the Sacramento Delta. Today Bogle Vineyards farms over 1,000 acres of wine grapes in the Delta region. While the winery was established ten years after the first grapes were planted, it has grown tremendously along with the vineyards. Bogle Winery is currently producing 100,000 cases of wine. Winemaker Christopher Smith joined the winery in 1992. He sources fruit from some of the best vineyards throughout the State of California and blends that fruit with the best grapes from our Estate Vineyards in Clarksburg.
