2024 Bogle Vineyard Chardonnay Reserve

Bogle Vineyards and the Chardonnay Reserve line

Bogle Vineyards is a family business in Clarksburg, California, that has been making wines for generations with a focus on balance, consistency, and character. The Chardonnay Reserve is a selection from the best plots and is known for its full-bodied style, subtle use of oak, and a ripe yet fresh expression. The grapes come from cooler zones of California, where morning mist and wide temperature variations help preserve aroma and acidity. For Chardonnay, this results in wines with both richness and liveliness, a combination clearly embodied by the Reserve line. Under the tab: Winery, you will find more information about the history and practices of the winery.

The grape and vinification of the 2024 Chardonnay Reserve

The 2024 is made entirely from Chardonnay. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve both ripe yellow fruit and sufficient freshness. Bogle employs controlled fermentation and aging in oak to develop structure and complexity without the wood dominating. Regular bâtonnage ensures a fuller, creamier texture.

Bogle is known for carefully balancing its use of wood. A combination of new and used barrels provides subtle vanilla, toast, and spices without overpowering the fruit. The result is a balanced Chardonnay with depth and softness.

Color, aroma and taste of the 2024 Chardonnay Reserve

The wine displays a bright golden-yellow color. On the nose, aromas of ripe peach, baked apple, citrus blossom, and a hint of roasted vanilla emerge. Upon aeration, light spiciness and a hint of caramel also reveal themselves.

On the palate, the wine is full and round, with soft acidity that provides freshness. Flavors of peach, nectarine, lemon peel, and a creamy note combine with subtle oak influences. The texture is supple and layered, while the finish is long, soft, and slightly spicy. The wine displays both ripeness and liveliness, which clearly characterizes the style of the Reserve.
