Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel

A Bold Expression of Zinfandel

Tasting Notes

Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel is a powerful and expressive wine that captures the essence of California’s old vine Zinfandel. With aromas of ripe blackberries, raspberry jam, and a touch of pepper, it opens up to a rich, full-bodied palate of dark fruits, sweet spice, and a hint of toasted oak. The wine’s smooth tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, velvety finish with lingering notes of chocolate and subtle spice.

Perfect Serve

Serve at 16–18°C to let its flavours fully shine. Pair it with barbecued meats, grilled steaks, or a hearty pasta with a rich tomato sauce. Also an excellent match for hard cheeses like aged cheddar or gouda.

Crafted with History

Made from grapes sourced from vines that are over 80 years old, Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel showcases the unique depth and concentration that only old vines can produce. The low-yielding, dry-farmed vines in California’s renowned Contra Costa County produce fruit that is rich, complex, and full of character.
