I have a cold, but it has a strong, yet enjoyable flavor. I like how dark of a wine it is. — 2 months ago

Very comparable to Bogle Vineyard’s Phantom- a very nice red varietal in the $20 to $30 range. — 6 years ago

Yes Syrah! This red is not for the faint of heart. It’s a dry vintage and unforgiving under the wrong tongue. My advice is to wait for the 2nd or even 3rd aftertaste, as you might be surprised by sensations you’ve never noticed before. — 8 years ago

Apple pear. Bade dried with a freshness to it. I joked about needing a calibration since I feel like I have phantom oxidation but this was well integrated. I immediately called jura and Paul was shocked. It was an awesome wine. Good minerality and cheesy on the nose. Beautiful color. Definitely an incredible wine. — 3 years ago

Dark red berries, pepper and chocolate on the palate. Great now but will be even better in a couple of years — 6 years ago

Jammy bramble fruit, cherry, oaky vanilla and a touch of white pepper on the nose. Fruit-forward character carries through in your mouth, peppery zing continues plus finish featuring dark chocolate but plenty of lush tartness for balance and nice tannin structure. Admirably restrained use of oak by Bogel at this price point; for $8 at Total Wine I can’t imagine a better QPR #zinfandel . — 6 years ago

Could be a good everyday, right up there with a few others we like consistently, like Bogle Phantom. — 7 years ago

I know now this needs more time to integrate, but it’s down-soft in the background, so difficult to see a balanced future. Warm plum and black berry-currant, cranberry stuffing, rich chocolate, sherry trifle, all loosely sprinkled with fine graphite. Steamy jungle flora notes merge with hemp stem and black cherry skins. Hard chocolate entry bringing dried blackberry and even drier black cherry stripped naked in a sauna of chamomile and phantom eucalyptus outlines describing a swarthy shadow through steam. A recent denizen of the cedar benches, puffing sweet tobaccos? There is subtle power at play despite the fruit-forward leanings. I was initially on the fence with this. This one is enigmatic with a nod to Napa in the 1970s. #Napa #Walton #cab #cabernet #cabsauv4life #cabsav #california #egelhoff #EgelhoffWalton #Bobegelhoff #egelhoffwines #StHelena #sthelenacab — 8 years ago

Never been disappointed with this red blend. This 2018 was very well balanced and smooth with light tannins. Full of flavor but not harsh. Great on its own or paired with just about any food. — 2 years ago

This is 2016 vintage and a gift opened May 30, 2019 for grilled chicken. The aroma is very mild with touch of vanilla to smooth it out. Taste smooth, dry and hint of apple with vanilla and minimal or no butter. Actually very pleasant and would recommend if you see it. I’ll try again. — 7 years ago

Apples pop on through the funk, with phantom cinnamon, green pear, and chayote. Tobacco-apple entry that goes deep golden apple and baked pear with rosemary and oregano. #cidre #EtienneDupont #bouchébrutdeNormandie #unfiltered #applecider #frenchcidre — 8 years ago
