As good as advertised! The nose permeates the air immediately upon uncorking! And what a nose it is! The ripe fruits just burst out of the bottle before you finish pouring the first few ounces. Full bodied, great mouthfeel, mild tannins but enough to think it could age a bit very nicely. But, why wait when it’s drinking so well already. Even though it sells in the $65-70 range nationally, my local wine store has it for under $40 which makes it quite the bargain. Will definitely be stocking up!! — a day ago

Surprisingly good especially for the price. Bogle is definitely one of my top favorites for “super market” wine that is good for every day drinking. And this Merlot is very good at first sip. It would pair well with various foods or good to just relax with a nice glass of wine. Good nose, smooth, fruit forward but not sweet and continues to linger on the palate rather than just disappear. For $10, an absolute bargain! — 2 months ago

I really like this wine! The addition of Petite Syrah really gives it depth and fruit as well as rounding out the tannins. For a supermarket wine that’s frequently a BOGO you can’t go wrong imho. Pairs well with roasted meat, hard cheese or just to sip and savor. I don’t do all the meaningless descriptions of tobacco, blackberries, brambly, etc. but as I said, I like it! — 7 months ago

Excellent qpr! Upon opening, it’s somewhat subdued but half an hour later, wow! What happened?! And with food, roasted red meats, hard cheeses, grilled vegetables, it really comes alive! This is as good or better than cabs costing 2-3 times as much. Great daily drinker!! — 12 days ago

Delicious! Great nose, somewhat smoky with a hint of tobacco, dark fruits and a lingering finish. This Sabet would pair well with any meats including shrimp or salmon. Could easily be mistaken for a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. — 2 months ago

Probably not technically as good as it tastes. This is a big, rich, flavorful wine with lots of dark fruit and high in alcohol at 15% which is most noticeable upon opening so let it breathe. I like to just sip it but also enhances food especially roasted red meats and strong cheeses with crusty bread. Wine snobs will undoubtedly be critical but so what! It’s just a good solid inexpensive wine that tastes good. Enjoy! — 7 months ago

We tried to like it but, no. We are just not Rose people I guess. This is not the first time we’ve tried but hopefully it’s the last! This wine is a fairly highly rated Rosè so I have to assume that it’s the type and style of wine that is just not for us. — a month ago

Superb! Unbelievable QPR! This California blend reminds me more of a Bordeaux than anything from CA. Beautiful nose and the full flavor is present right out of the bottle. Does not need any decanting time and drinks well either just to sip or paired with food including beef, pork, hard cheeses and crusty bread. This could be served for any event and folks would be impressed! — 5 months ago
