Tasting - Bogle Heritage Red Blend

 LABEL: ME: 

The Wine: Bogle Heritage Red is made with the Petit Sarah grape. It has a vintage year of 2020 and is crafted in California. The bottle has an ABV of 14.5% and costs about $12. 

Critic Review: Stacy Briscoe from Wine Enthusiast claims it is "a perfect sip for any casual occasion". (https://www.wineenthusiast.com/buying-guide/bogle-2020-essential-red-red-california/)

Wine Folly: Page 147 says petit sirah has notes of plum, dark chocolate, black tea, and black pepper. I didn't get any of these flavors unfortunately. It has very little sweetness and a high level of tannins.

My Review: Interestingly enough, the wine smelt like a woman wearing heavy perfume. It tasted like a banana and had a slight acidity on the middle of the tongue. Apart from the banana taste and a medium viscosity, there isn't much flavor to the wine. I did not have this wine with food, but I'm sure it could go well with some beef.
