Cline Cellars

Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2023

California Old Vine Zinfandel. No doubt a blend from two or more counties of origin. Dark ruby red, very good clarity, high pigment extraction. Strawberry on nose, cherry and plum in mouth. 14.5% alc/vol. smooth mouthfeel initially but some skin astringency on finish. Decant. Tar and eucalyptus emerge after 30 minutes. — 3 days ago

Happy New Year all! 🍾🥂

This 07 outshines/performs the overall vintage.

Outstanding mousse & lively acidity. Lime zest, lemon pulp in juice, grapefruit w/ pith, orange citrus blend with peel, kiwi, tropical melons, white nectarines, excellent white spice, baguette crust, gritty white chalk, dry, crushed limestone bits, grey volcanics, oyster shells, saline/sea spray, light tones of fresh herbs, yellow lilies, spring flowers with greens, excellent acidity, well; structured, balanced, knitted, beautiful finish that is even and lands on minerality & spice.
