Tonight's bottle · Bold, jammy, old-vine Californian red

Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel

🇺🇸Lodi, CA · Zinfandel

Blackberry jam and baking spice, old vines with something to say. California boldness without apology — deep, warm, a little excessive in the best way. The wine you open when you want the book to last all night.
