Cline Ancient Vines Red Blend Wine - 750 Ml
Our ancient vines were planted back in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Contra Costa County. Italian immigrants arrived on the south bank where the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers meet. Over centuries, these rivers created a massive sand bank from deposits originating from the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Oakley's climate is warm, and ideal for ripening Rhone varietals. Nighttime cooling breezes extend the growing season. Grapes are handpicked and 100% destemmed before being fermented naturally without the addition of yeasts. All varieties are harvested and fermented separately. Grapes are pumped over 2-3 times a day for two weeks until the wine is dry. Then the wine is pressed off its skins and moved into a tank for malolactic fermentation. Once the secondary fermentation has begun, the wine is moved for barrel aging. It receives a mixture of oak - depending on the varietal - for 15 months before blending and bottling.
Sourced from some of our oldest vines in Contra Costa, predominately own-rooted and dry-farmed. These vineyards bring all the flavor and freshness of California grapes with a distinctly old-world vibe induced from some of the oldest vines in California. This wine is a perfect marriage of concentrated fruit with amazing secondary flavors of spice and forest floor. The texture has a mouth-watering acidity matched with luscious tannins leading into an irresistably long finish.
