CLINE CASHMERE RED BLEND CALIF 21

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 beganplanting varietals that included a number of vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne

Tasting Notes:
This is the 22nd vintage of Cashmere with its first offering being a one barrel donation to Hospice du Rhone. The blending of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre is practiced in many winemaking regions and especially well known in the Rhone Valley of France and in Australia. Each variety makes its own contribution to the blend and the result is delicious.
