Cline Vineyards Description : Meticulous farming. Mature fruit. Handmade wines. Severe selection. Master blending. From repeated tasting of the fruit in the vineyard to seeing the grapes come through the hopper, we still do it the old-fashioned way. We think it shows in the bottle, the only thing that matters. Cline's California Zinfandel displays a wide array of dark berry fruit including black cherry and raspberry, spice notes and a lasting finish of vanilla from oak aging. Firm, supple tannins add complexity to this wine.  

My Review : This is a deep but translucent red wine.  It has strong berry smells, such as cherry and strawberry.  The first initial taste is sweet and fruity but the finish is strong, peppery, and a bit buttery.  I would buy this wine for a fajita night or for something off the grill.  I tasted this wine without food.
