Bogle Vineyards Pinot Noir Red Wine

As for what it costs, that is the simple part. Across our September 2026 checks the low was $10.99 and the top $14.99, which puts the low among the least expensive reds we track. The grape is Pinot Noir, a thin-skinned red that category guides tend to tie to red cherry, berry and plum, with lighter color and softer tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon.

One shopper has rated it so far. That single score is 4 out of five, below the 4.71 median among wines shoppers have rated, though one voice is a thin thing to lean on and we would read little into it yet. Bogle's account is brief: the family's first wine grapes went into the ground in 1968, and its first wine under the Bogle name came out in 1978.

Bogle's fact sheet for the current vintage sources this Pinot Noir from four California regions, the cooler Monterey and Sonoma alongside the warmer Clarksburg and Lodi, and lists 14.5 percent alcohol with 12 months of time in oak, a mix of new French barrels and neutral American ones. The producer's tasting note describes 'expressive aromas of red cherry, dried raspberry, and rose petals' with a 'graceful soft entry' and a 'silky texture,' the maker's words. That 14.5 percent alcohol runs well above Bogle's own Pinot Grigio at 11 percent, consistent with fruit drawn from some of the blend's warmer sourcing regions.

Our call: this suits a shopper after an inexpensive Pinot Noir with a real oak-aging regimen and multi-region California sourcing behind it, at one of the lower prices among the reds we track. Pass if the shopper crowd's early verdict matters to you: the single rating on record sits below the median we track, and with just one voice behind it, that reading is too thin to lean on either way.
