Bright black cherry, concentrated fruit aromas, and toasty oak are all qualities for which Bogle Merlot is noted. This 1997 vintage is no different! With nuances of cedar, licorice and vanilla on the palate, this medium-bodied Merlot makes for the perfect everyday wine. The texture is soft while the body shows many complexities. Enjoy this wine with a rich cheese, marinara pasta, or your favorite reparation of lamb, game or beef.
