Wow! We both really liked this wine a lot. This was our first full Petite Sirah. We had a taste of the Concannon Petite Sirah and liked it enough to buy a bottle, which is still on our rack. I picked up the Bogle Petite Sirah after seeing it on sale at Lueken's Liquors. I knew from reading online that Bogle's Petite Sirah was well-liked and very consistent. We couldn't have been more pleased with it. We also really liked the Chardonnay by Bogle, which was also an excellent value.

We drank this wine last night with some turkey filets wrapped in bacon that we seasoned and tossed on the grill. The meal and the wine were terrific and went well together. The aroma of this wine was absolutely amazing...I could have sniffed it all night. The nose was dark fruits, mostly red cherry and blueberry. The color was a deep, dark purple. The taste was delicious - jammy, fruity, and just a little peppery, with nice smooth tannins and a long finish. It had a really nice full mouthfeel that let you know you were drinking a big, full-bodied wine.

The Bogle Petite Sirah is definitely a wine that we will buy over and over again. I can't wait to finish the bottle tonight!
