Cline Cellars Ancient Vines Zinfandel 2015 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 92/100

Cline's Zinfandel grapes are sourced from dry-farmed vines planted more than 100 years ago, thus deserving the name Ancient Vines. The depth and concentration of that aging vine wisdom shows in the glass. Notes of blackberry and toasty, black fruit, tar, smoke and toasty oak. Full-bodied. Perfect for BBQ meats and a campfire. This is a truly mouth-filling wine. Big, long finish like a Broadway number... it's a dazzling kick-line for the senses. Warm, sunny days and cool nights along the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers provide unique growing conditions to produce robust, intense red wines.

Zinfandel food pairings: hearty meat meals, pasta, aged cheddar, pulled pork.

Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine
