Bogle Reserve Chardonnay elevates the iconic Bogle style into pure luxury. Crafted from 100% estate-grown fruit in Clarksburg and barrel-fermented in new American oak, this is a bold, buttery expression of California craftsmanship—rich, golden, and indulgently smooth.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Golden in hue, this wine opens with aromas of melted butter, caramel, and toasted brioche. The palate unfolds in waves of tropical fruit, nougat, and toffee, wrapped in creamy oak and lifted by gentle acidity. A long, silken finish carries hints of spice and vanilla, leaving a warm, satisfying impression.

Craftsmanship & Story
The Bogle Reserve Chardonnay showcases the family’s mastery of barrel fermentation and sur-lie aging. Hand-crafted from estate-grown Clarksburg fruit, the juice is aged eight to ten months in new American oak, with twice-monthly stirring for texture and depth. The result is a wine of bold richness and balance, reflecting both the Delta’s cooling maritime breezes and generations of meticulous care.
