This wine is very nice and smooth.  To quote the Bogle Winemaker:

Head-trained, dry farmed old vines continue to be the source for Bogle’s Old Vine Zinfandel. These gnarly old vines produce concentrated fruit of unsurpassed quality and intensity. This supple and full-bodied vintage begins with brambleberries and raspberry jam. Summertime ripeness and richness integrate with hints of black pepper and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish of toasty oak, tobacco and spicy cloves creates a wine of both structure and sumptuousness.

This affordable wine offers a very jammy taste and bouquet of cherry, raspberries and plum. There is a wonderful mid-palette flavor of earthy dark fruit, chocolate and bell pepper.  The flavor lingers for several minutes afterwards with a nice hint of clove, nutmeg, and leather. The bottom line is that Bogle Old Vine Zin has all those nice Old Vine Zinfandel flavors I’ve come to enjoy.

This is definitely a VERY good value offering a pleasant wine drinking experience. I rate it a solid “B” or higher.
