Bogle

Bogle is a winery in Clarksburg, California; Warren and his son Chris planted its first 20 acres of wine grapes on the Home Ranch in 1968. The original winery was constructed in 1979. Siblings Warren, Jody and Ryan Bogle work in the winery’s day-to-day operations, with Warren serving as president and vineyard director. Dana Stemmler is its winemaker.

The family’s 2,000 acres of estate vineyards are in Clarksburg, Lodi and the Sierra Foothills. Grapes grown in Clarksburg include Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir. Each vineyard block is crushed, vinted and aged separately, while all its red wines age in small, traditional oak barrels. Its wines include Chardonnay, which is fermented in new oak barrels, with the lees stirred by hand at least once a month.
