Juggernaut Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon
Juggernaut Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon is Bogle Vineyards' hillside-fruit label — 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from rocky, elevation-stressed vineyard sites, a 750mL bottle at 14.5% ABV aged 12–18 months in new French oak barrels. Hillside vineyards across Livermore Valley, the Sierra Foothills, Alexander Valley, and Lake County give this wine its identity: poor rocky soils and limited water stress the vines, yielding smaller, intensely concentrated berries — the winemaking is a showcase of what elevation does to Cabernet. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Elevation as a Flavor
Juggernaut is the Bogle family's label for extreme sites — the brand's own tagline is "Overcoming Challenges Builds Character," and the alpha-predator label art is no accident. The idea is simple: hillside vines work harder, produce less, and concentrate more. The 12–18 months in new French oak then frame that concentration with structure and spice.
