Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel

This Zinfandel underwent near total destemming and a very gentle crushing to ensure a large proportion of whole berries in the must which contributes to the explosive fruit character of the wine. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled open-top concrete tanks at the optimum temperature to extract rich flavors and provide excellent color. Enhancing the strawberry, raspberry, orange zest and vanilla characteristics. Well balanced and fresh with a touch of plum and black pepper make for a very enjoyable glass of wine.
