Cline 'Ancient Vines' Zinfandel 2020
The Ancient Vines Zinfandel shows spicy, bright strawberries, with coffee and chocolate characters. Ripe fruit and soft tannins make this a mouth-coating rich vintage. Ageing on new and used oak has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes. Enjoy now or cellar for 5 to 7 years.
The Ancient Vines Zinfandel draws primarily from a wide selection of our oldest, most historic and shyest-bearing Zinfandel blocks in Contra Costa County. Grapes were planted by Italian and Portuguese immigrants in the sandy, phylloxera-resistant soils of Oakley, California more than 100 years ago. Blend of 97% Zinfandel and 3% Carignane.
91 Points - Tasting Panel
Floral and lush with pretty, spicy favours; aromatic, dense, and long, this expression hails from a consistently value-priced winery.
