CLINE "ANCIENT VINES" ZINFANDEL 2011

Ripe, with spicy cherry, raspberry jam and complex earthy notes. Firms up on the finish, with sufficient tannins to merit short-term cellaring. Ancient Vines Zinfandel shows wonderful dusty raspberry, blackberry, white pepper and spice, with coffee and chocolate characters. Prolonged aging in new and used wood has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that complements nicely the explosive fruit notes. Enjoy this wine presently for its effusive black fruit, or cellar for 5 to 7 years.
