Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel 2016
Contra Costa, Central Coast, California, United StatesCline Ancient Vines Zinfandel has deep roots that go back nearly a century in the sandy soils of Contra Costa County’s Oakley vineyards. Old or ancient, anyway you cut it this wine has pedigree, but it can’t escape its warm site. The nose is slightly reduced with smoky, meaty aromas. The palate is awash in super ripe raisiny fruit with notes of cola and chocolate. Ready to drink, and your best bet is a side of smoky barbecue ribs. Pricey for what you get in BC.Tasted: 04 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $31.50 | 750ml | private wine shops |
