Reviews:

• Tasting Panel: Mocha coffee fills the mouth, allowing in a rush of blackberry and plum. Round tannins fill out beautifully across the palate and carry a path to an on-going, generous surge of fruit and acidity.

• Wine Enthusiast: This wine tastes rich, smooth and easy, offering generous vanilla and maple notes over very ripe plums, cherries and mint accents. Soft tannins and a broad texture give it a mouth-coating effect.

Producer Information

Cline Cellars is a producer based in the Carneros region of California. It is particularly known for its wines made of Zinfandel as well as a selections of the Rhne varieties Syrah, Mourvdre and Grenache. Owner Fred Cline was one of the first to plant Rhne varieties in California and is one of the original “Rhone Rangers” a non-profit organization dedicated to so-called “American Rhone” varietal wines. The portfolio is arranged in several tiers, headed by the single vineyard wines. Varietal wine from Zinfandel, Syrah, Peit Syrah, Grenache and Mourvdre plus the occasional Late Harvest Mourvdre are all produced from select old-vine blocks in the Contra Costa County AVA. The Meadowbrook Ranch Zinfandel comes from Tehama County, and the Los Carneros Syrah comes from a hillside plot in the estate vineyard. The Sonoma Coast Estate Grown range is the next tier down, featuring grape varieties more recently taken up by Cline Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Merlot alongside the more established Zinfandel and Rhne varieties. The Ancient Vines range comes from low-yielding plots in Contra Costa County, and the entry-level California Classics line rounds out the range.
