Wine Tasting: Bogle Family Vineyards 2021 Petite Sirah

 This wine tasting features the 2021Bogle Family Vineyards Petite Sirah. This wine is harvested and bottled in Clarksburg, California.  The bottle was purchased at Kroger for $10.99.

Wine Enthusiast grades this wine a 91% out of 100 which is considered "Excellent" and "highly recommended."  Tonya Pitts describes this red, "This wine is rich, concentrated with aromas of blackberry, cumin, dried herbs and florals. The palate offers black cherry, peach, clove and white grapefruit intertwined with mineral, earth and a dry finish." 

Wine Folly, page 147, lists Petite Sirah as full-bodied, high alcohol content, high tannins, medium acidity and low sweetness.  It tends to have notes of blueberries, black pepper, dark chocolate, black tea, and sugar plums. 

Per my own review, this Petite Sirah smelled rich, ripe and fruity.  The aromas were especially of black cherry and blackberry. When tasting this wine, it was initially sweet, with a lot of blackberry. It was very dry, with hints of cedar, oak and vanilla.

I really loved this wine, especially for the price point. I think Sirah and Bordeaux wine are two of my favorites types so far because of their dryness and depth of flavor.  I would recommend this wine for a steak or lamb chop dinner and plan to be pairing it myself.
