Deep purple in color; chocolate, cherries, and black pepper on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like plums, blueberries, and graphite with a medium finish. It was a little harsh at first, but it opened up after some time in the glass. It's too oaky for Nellie. She doesn't like it. I think it's ok, but the tannins and oak flavors are a little too harsh. Paired well with gouda.

Maybe a touch more "goofy" and jammy than the last time I tried it, but this is still an absolutely delicious and fun wine for $10. Much, much better than the other entry level Bogle stuff, too; tons of black plum preserves, a bit of vanilla oak, fat and round but not sweet or cloying. Very simple and absolutely tasty once in a while as a burger companion. As far as $10 grocery wine goes, it's in the upper echelon- then again, a few bucks more at a wine shop can get you a *lot*.

Excellent for a simple wine with balance and restrained fruit. Could I note any Petite Sirah notes? No. Could I normally pick out specific Petite Sirah notes? Also, no. Nonetheless, the wine was better than expected.

Wanted to try a Petite Sirah so I picked this up and it was shockingly not bad. Dense fruit, med + tannin, oaky perfume and flavor. Definitely a solid QPR at $10 and change. Absolutely agree with the previous reviewer on this one.
Surprisingly solid for 10 bucks! Certainly feels like a Petite Sirah with plenty of rich purple fruit and some rich oak, a little jammy but not needlessly so, and it does feel like real wine, not confected or artificial. Simple but fun and excellent value. Okay, maybe even for the value I might be overrating it, will make a point to try it again.

Smooth. Easy drinking. Not pizza wine.

For $12 this is a perfectly fine wine. Oak, jam, some tannins.
Don't overthink and just enjoy.

It's drinkable and affordable, but not that good. I'd have it at a party, but don't recommend having this with dinner.

Very good wine for the price. Lacking enough bite for me on the front, finishes nicely.

very solid 90 PS! 2020 is an excellent effort from Bogle for the PS.
