Taste
Opulent and layered, this Chardonnay opens with ripe apple, pear, and baked citrus, followed by notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spice. Extended sur lie aging adds a creamy, almost buttery texture, while subtle nutty undertones and integrated acidity keep the wine balanced and composed through the lingering finish.
About the Winery / Winemaker
Crafted by Bogle Family Vineyards, Phantom Chardonnay represents the winery’s more indulgent, oak-forward expression of the varietal. Sourced from Clarksburg—an appellation known for its cooling Delta breezes—this wine balances California ripeness with natural freshness. Careful barrel selection, extended aging, and hands-on cellar work result in a Chardonnay that’s rich yet intentional.
Why We Love It
This is Chardonnay for people who love Chardonnay. The extended barrel aging and frequent lees stirring create a plush, full-bodied wine that feels luxurious without being clumsy. It’s a fantastic option for customers who gravitate toward bold whites, enjoy oak influence, or want something that can stand up to richer dishes.
