2008 Bogle Pinot Noir – Wine Review
Without a doubt the 2008 Bogle Pinot Noir is one of the best value Pinot's available today. Due to the increasing popularity of Pinot Noir over the past several years we have seen the average price point move higher and higher. Fortunately for all of us the Bogle Family has done a tremendous job of deliveringa knock out Pinot Noir that delivers the goods for a suggested price point of $11.00 a bottle. With subtlespiciness, and hints of cherry and strawberry this Pinot Noir had me wanting more and more. A huge thumbs up from the Corx Wine Bags crew!!
Cheers!

WINEMAKER NOTES
The 2008 Pinot Noir from Bogle represents some of the best varietal growing regions our state has to offer. Fruit from the cool confines of the Russian River Valley, from the coastal hills of Monterey and from the unique Clarksburg Delta combine to create a garnet-colored wine of complexity and finesse.
The first impression recalls a sun-dappled forest clearing, scattered with sweet wild strawberries and rustic mint. These hints of pine, bright berry and fresh herbs follow on the well-balanced palate, surrounded by soft suggestions of tea leaves and violets. Toasty vanilla winds itself throughout, wrapping around the finish: long, silky and elegant.

About Corx Wine Bags
Corx Wine Bags was founded in 2005 by two friends who had passion for wine. One of them being a self proclaimed klutz and the other a self proclaimed sewing master, they sought to create the ultimate wine bag. After several prototypes the “Tre” 3-bottle wine bag was born. A wine bag of the highest quality that prevents bottles from breaking in transit for those klutz’s out there, while keeping your wines at proper storing temperatures during your trip to your favorite BYOB restaurant, picnic location or bringing bottles home from your favorite winery.
