Sonoma, CA, 13.5%
Produced by: Cline Cellars
Green StringTM farmed
Nose a hint oxidized with dark fruits (blackberry, cherry, mulberry); subtle "Syrah" scent. Flavors of violet and ink with a bit of lavender. Nice and tart but lightly perfumed as well. Some plum and sour cherry. Good tannins but lots of lingering fruit. The blend of tart, fruit, and tannins gives an element of ripe Western Slope Rocky Mountain huckleberry to the wine. (Oh the childhood memories of the huckleberry patch. . .) Deep; layered with flavor. Tasty on the tongue but not heavy or saturating. Exhibits clarity and balance. Yummy! Excellent wine for this reasonable price. This kind of wine is why I love Syrah. And it's organic-esque too with that Green StringTM theory farming.
