Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Fred Cline founded Cline Cellars in 1982, in Oakley, California. In 1991, he relocated to the Sonoma Valley on a 350 acre estate in the Carneros District. Aromas of fresh berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with notes of espresso and cacao, a touch of oak and spice. Medium finish, fine soft tannins, good balance ending with fruit and a bit of spice. Nice value. Pair this with a brisket or pulled pork sandwich. Tasting Sample.
