Really fruit forward Zin. Dark cherry, slight strawberry. Great structure, yet loose. Hint of spice on the finish. Well over delivers at $10.

Pours a dark red. Blueberry and baking spices on aromas. Dark cherry raspberry and a hint of vanilla flavors with a bit of dryness on the finish. Not a traditional big jammy version of Zinfandel

Medium bodied, fruit forward with plenty of cherry & dark berry, touch of vanilla, touch of spice.

A little tart for a zin, but I drank the whole bottle in one sitting...so it can't be that bad, right?

Cline 2012 Zinfandel Lodi.
Ripe red berries mix with black pepper and a bit of acidity that's a tad heavy on the finish. Simple and straight forward. This wine won't knock your socks off.

Sweet cherry 🍒 and dried plum aroma/flavors with a light jammy finish. Slight smokiness that surprises the tongue.

A good Zin from Sonoma, Ca. The 2012 was a bit better than this 2013. Fred Cline also owns Jaccuzzi Family Vineyards right across the street and they both have excellent wines with NO tasting FEES! Jacuzzi also has an olive oil tasting room that is fantastic. Cline & Jacuzzi became our most favorite wineries and are both organic.
