WINE MAKING PROCESS
Bogle Vineyards Merlot is produced from 100% Merlot grapes sourced from various California vineyards. Following harvest, the grapes are crushed and fermented, with winemaking techniques focused on preserving freshness and developing character. The wine is then aged for 12 months in American oak barrels, which contributes to its texture and complexity. The Bogle family's approach involves direct oversight throughout the winemaking process, aiming for consistent quality and value.
