The Phantom on the Shelf

Bogle Vineyards has been one of California wine’s most reliable growth drivers for more than a decade, consistently posting double-digit gains and earning a total of 14 consecutive Impact “Hot Brand” awards along the way. Last year, the Bogle brand surpassed the 2-million-case mark on 13.8% volume growth, according to Impact Databank. Bogle Vineyards national sales manager Sam Bon reports that volume growth accelerated to 19% in the first half of 2015. Bon predicts that Bogle will reach roughly 2.5 million cases by the end of the year.

Phantom, Bogle’s mysterious apparition of ripe berry and relentless spice, returns to haunt wine lovers.  Full of concentration and intensity, this wine will tease, tantalize and linger long after the last sip is gone.

A symphony bewitches your senses immediately:  juniper berry and spice, with just a wisp of toasted coconut hinting at the American oak aging.  Sparkling rubies catch the light and tempt your first sip. Juicy plums and brawny blackberries are succulent and intoxicating, as the full bodied structure takes hold.  Abundant, yet ripe tannins round out the palate, yet don’t overpower the red cranberry fruit. Aged for 24 months in 1 and 2 year-old American oak, Phantom exits with an enthralling and passionate finish. Petite Sirah 41% - Zinfandel 31% - Cabernet Sauvignon 20% - Merlot 8%.

Welcome the winery ghost into your home again with this latest vintage…before it vanishes again.
