Cline Family Cellars is a family-owned and operated winery in Sonoma, California, built on a passion for winemaking and rooted in respect for the land. Fred Cline started Cline Family Cellars in 1982 in Oakley, California, making his first vintages from original plantings of Mourvedre, Zinfandel, and Carignane, some of which dated back to the 1880's. In 1989, Fred purchased a 350-acre horse farm in Carneros and moved the winery to Sonoma County. As one of the original Rhone Rangers, he began planting varietals that included a number of vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne
Tasting Notes
Carignane has traditionally been used as a blending grape because of its big tannin and excellent acidity, Cline Cellars is one of the few wineries to vinify Carignane as a stand-alone varietal. These vineyards were planted in the early 1900's and the low yielding vineyards produces incredibly distinctive wines.
