I don’t even remember WHEN I picked up this bottle of wine, Bogle Phantom. Maybe last fall? I got it at Trader Joe’s and probably spent a little more than usual, like maybe $14? $16? It’s something that only comes out once a year and when it’s gone, it’s gone. At least that’s what my wine buddy at Trader Joe’s said.<\/p>\n

This particular bottle is the 2009 vintage (I think the 2010 recently came out). With a preponderance of Old Vine Zin, I knew it wasn’t a summer wine. But we’ve had some cool nights recently and I had a winter squash baking off in the oven, so I thought it might be time to pop the cork.<\/p>\n

To start — it is a beautiful dark purple. Opaque. Lush. Just a really pretty wine to look at. The scent reminds me of berries. It’s a full, round wine on the tongue — dry but not too tannic — definitely fruity. A hint of peppery. I really do love a good zinfandel.<\/p>\n

I think this would work well with autumnal food — heavier pastas, pork, beef.<\/p>\n

Standard caveat<\/strong>: This is a personal recommendation. Neither the Trader Joe’s nor Bogle folks know I exist and have provided neither product nor compensation for this endorsement. In fact, they\u2019ll probably sue me if this ever gets in a search engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
