After I fell in love with Bogle wines, I reported on them here. Then I joined their wine club. Last week they sent me their Spring shipment which included this 2012 Vigonier.
Like some book reviews say...."I couldn't put it down". Drank the entire bottle at a sitting. I did open it and leave it for an hour first. The pear flavor of this marvelous wine is distinct but subtle. Think poached pear as a dessert at Le Petit Chatelet in Paris late at night in a spring downpour....with some butter added just for balance.
This amazing wine held its own against a variety of dishes........olives.........hummus with tapenade....huntsman cheese......chicken dumplings.......huge Gulf shrimp with Arnaud's remoulade sauce, even rhubarb and strawberry pie.
For around $20.00, this wine is not just a keeper.........it is a SAVER. I'm getting a case. Trust me. You should too.
