Cline Cellars bears the reputation for producing some of the finest Rhone-style wines and Zinfandels in California. The combination of warm days, foggy mornings and cool evenings make our Sonoma appellations some of the most highly regarded vineyard land in California. What these vineyard conditions translate into in terms of Syrah is a deep concentration of fresh blueberry fruit, dark color and supple tannin. The warmer regions of Oakley and Lodi provide us with ripe and flavorful grapes that add a “jammy” element to the wine.

Tasting notes:
A wide array of dark berry fruit including black cherry and raspberry with spice notes and a firm lasting finish of vanilla.

  • Food pairing:
    Roast chicken and wild mushroom lasagna in fresh Roma tomato sauce.
  • Cheese pairing:
    Canestrato, Gruyere, Maytag Blue
