Juggernaut Hillside California Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Bogle Family Vineyards of Clarksburg, California, started Juggernaut after finding hillside Cabernet with intense color and tannin, and this wine is made only from hillside fruit. It's Bogle's step-up Cabernet.

Winemaker Eric Aafedt ages it for 11 months in new French oak. Bogle traces the first hillside Cab to Alexander Valley and the Sierra Foothills. It's 14.5% alcohol.

The winery describes anise, black fruit and cassis on the nose, then a dense, velvety palate with vanilla and ripe black currant.

At about $20, this is one of the bolder Cabs at this price. If you like Josh Cellars but want more grip and oak, step up to this one.

Give it 20 minutes in the glass, or decant it. The winery pairs it with a coffee-rubbed porterhouse.
