Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon

June 10th, 2008 | by gogozip |

This journey hit two birds with one stone, as I got to try both the Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 and the Bogle Pinot Noir 2005. My girl friend and I were celebrating our 15 month at the Wild Rabbit restaurant in Costa Mesa that we discovered in our entertainment book. It was a nice, easy going restaurant with a decently sized wine selection. Since the restaurant was called the Wild Rabbit, I decided to go with the Rabbit Pinot Noir with a glass of Bogle Pinor Noir 2005. My girl friend tried their flat iron steak with a glass of Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon 2005.
It was the first time that I have tried the rabbit, and it tasted like tender chicken with a nutty flavor and a splash of Pinot Noir. The glass of Bogle Pinor Noir 2005 had a fruit-foward nose. It was medium-bodied with a hint of spice and of..well�grapefruit? The flavors were well balanced and the wine itself was enjoyable. I would say it�s a good, but not excellent, Pinot Noir overall.
I also had a chance to try my girlfriend�s flat iron steak with the Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon. If you�ve ever wondered what �earthy� means for a wine, this is it. The earthiness is noticeable on the nose, and it is more apprent in the flavor as the wine decants a bit. The tannins and flavors of the Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon were extremely well rounded and ready to drink. This wine didn�t hit me at first because it was so balanced, but the flavors and smoothness grew on me after a couple tastes. I would definately recommend this wine for a nice steak dinner!
