Product Description

Bogle Phantom 750ml: California Petite Sirah–Zinfandel Red Blend with Blackberry, Dark Chocolate and American Oak

Bogle Phantom 750ml is the Phantom Proprietary Red blend, confirmed by UPC 080887490231. The current 2022 release combines 45% Petite Sirah and 55% Zinfandel and matures for 30 months in American oak.

Phantom began in 1999 as a rich reserve-style red inspired by the Bogle family's Scottish ghost legend. The current wine is full-bodied and dark-fruited, with blackberry, marionberry, cassis, vanilla, baking spice, dark chocolate and white pepper.

Vintage composition can change, so the exact blend and alcohol on the bottle received should be checked. The current technical data lists 14.5% ABV, but an older vintage may use different percentages while retaining the Petite Sirah–Zinfandel identity.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Ripe blackberry, marionberry and cassis with vanilla, toasted oak and baking spice.

Palate: Full-bodied black fruit, dark chocolate and pepper with structured Petite Sirah tannin and energetic Zinfandel fruit.

Finish: Long and fruit-driven, with American-oak vanilla, white pepper, dark berries and firm tannin.

Food Pairings

• Braised short ribs: rich meat and sauce match the wine's body and dark fruit
• Barbecue brisket: smoke and char suit American oak and pepper
• Aged cheddar: salt and fat soften the tannins
• Dark chocolate cake: cocoa reinforces the wine's chocolate and blackberry notes

Serving Suggestions

Serve at approximately 60–65°F. Decant for 30–60 minutes, especially when young, and use a large red-wine glass. Avoid serving at warm room temperature, which can exaggerate alcohol.

Store unopened bottles on their side in a cool, dark and stable place. After opening, recork and refrigerate; allow the wine to return toward cellar temperature before the next pour.
