I have a very deep appreciation for the Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon, partly because it's $9 at Joe Canal's and never more than $12 at most places. But the reason I love it most of all is that in indulges me in my three favorite smells on a wine -and a person :
oak
smoke,
and a touch of leather.
Depending on the bottle it might be a little too much for some, and maybe it would be better if it were aged and more restrained. The guy who works in the liquor department of Rite Aid told me the Bogle wine tastes soapy to him. But then again he recommended a Louis M.Martini Cabernet Sauvignon which is no nose, no tannins, and no fun.
Just one whiff of this Cab and you'll get those cherries and plums too. The truth is I was intemperate with my fascination with this wine a few months ago and got sick of it. This isn't an anytime drink, it's the typical type you have when you're young and about to eat something as rich and loud as this wine.
