This wine drank much better after being opened for a few hours. Very nice plum and blackberry notes. Deep color, ligt on the oak. Finish was okay. Would purchase this label again if the price was right.

Served for Thanksgiving dinner for 20. This wine was very acidic when first opened. After decanting for 2 hours it became much more mellow with hints of berries.

For $10, Bogle Merlot is a fine bottle of wine. The color is dark, like a cross between red and black plum. The scent is sweet, blackberries and cherries with a very slight hint of pepper and tannin. Taste is blackberry and raspberry, has a big start, and then finishes very light with an unpleasant taste of parchment. Good dinner wine.

Color: deep ruby. Aroma: Cherries, plum, with subtle buttered popcorn overtones. Little or no wood. Taste: Acidic up front and in finish. Minimal oak. Overall: Decent red to go with some dishes. Interesting aroma but not all that pleasant on the palate or at finish.
