Bogle’s 2008 Chardonnay is a hand-crafted wine that has a little bit of something for everyone: barrel fermentation, sur-lies aging and partial malolactic fermentation. These careful processes create a wine with layers of complexity and generous character. Distinctively Chardonnay from the Clarksburg appellation, the aromatics shine of Bartlett pear and saucy apple. Mid palate, the texture shows off its silky, soft nature, allowing the creamy notes to envelop the fruit. New American oak adds nutmeg, vanilla and a hint of butterscotch to the finish, though never losing its perfectly balanced acidity.

Review

Wine Spectator Review: Fresh and lively, full-bodied and smooth-textured, with vibrant green apple, melon, ripe pear and honeysuckle flavors, ending with a long, full finish. Drink now through 2011. 250,000 cases made. –JL Wine Enthusiast Review: Bogle has taken a big leap forward with their ’08 Chardonnay. It shows many fine qualities, from the fruity crispness and creamy texture to the pineapple, apple and pear flavors. This is a great price for a Chard of this richness. -S.H.
