one of my favorite zinfandels
is Bogle Winery's... and they do one of the coolest things!
on each of their corks is a unique quote:

"He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long."
Martin Luther

"In water one sees one's own face;
But in wine one beholds the heart of another."
French proverb

"What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?"
W.C. Fields

"Over the wine-dark sea."
Homer, Iliad, I. 350

"Wine is bottled poetry."
Robert Louis Stevenson

WINEMAKER NOTES:

Head-trained and dry farmed vines continue to be the source for Bogle’s Old Vine Zinfandel. These gnarly old vines produce concentrated fruit of unsurpassed quality and intensity. This full-bodied vintage shows itself with rich black raspberry notes that round out in the mouth, accompanied by the scents of summer fruit jam bubbling on the stove. Juniper berry and cinnamon stick join the spiciness of red and black peppercorns as they integrate with the supple fruit and lead toward the finish. Toasty oak and cloves are the perfect finishing touch.
