The2022 Bogle Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a generous and approachable red from California, crafted in the rich, fruit-forward style that has made Bogle a favourite among Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiasts. The 2022 vintage opens with inviting aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and ripe plum, complemented by notes of vanilla, cedar, mocha and a touch of baking spice. Carefully integrated oak adds depth while allowing the vibrant fruit character to remain at the forefront.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity and a rounded, velvety texture. Flavours of dark berry fruit, black cherry and cassis are layered with hints of cocoa, toasted oak and subtle spice, leading to a long, supple finish. The wine delivers excellent balance between ripe fruit, structure and freshness, making it enjoyable upon release while retaining enough depth for short-term cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday Cabernet Sauvignon for customers who enjoy generous fruit, smooth tannins and classic Californian character. It pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, slow-cooked beef brisket, barbecue lamb, gourmet burgers or mature cheddar. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years, either with a short decant now or after a few years in the cellar to allow the flavours to develop further.
