Cline Cabernet Sauvignon, North Coast 2023

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of cassis, dark plums and toast, the palate has a firmness which balances against ripe fruit flavour. Unlike the zinfandels from Cline which are more juicy and generous, the Cabernet Sauvignon shows a more restrained characters with elegant fine grain tannins.

The fruit is sourced from a variety of family growers located in Mendocino and Lake County within the North Coast Appellation. Diamond D is a prominent vineyard situated above Middletown, this warm site has many hills and faces south to capture all of the season’s sun, providing concentrated and ripe fruit. Grapes are also sourced from Feliz Creek Vineyard – west of Hopland facing eastward to dry the fruit out and protect it from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. A couple of other smaller growers around Hopland and Kelseyville make up the remainder of the blend. Grapes were handpicked at night and brought to the winery at dawn. 100% are destemmed and the must is pumped to tanks to help extract the most flavour out of the grapes. They are then allowed to naturally begin fermentation and with pump over two to three times a day for two weeks before pressing. It completes malolactic fermentation in tank before being racked to barrels where it sees 45% new French oak for 15 months before racking, blending and bottling.

Cline Cellars is a family-owned vineyard and winery in Sonoma’s Carneros Valley. Established in 1982 by Fred Cline, a descendant of Italian US settlers, he originally founded the winery in Oakley, Contra Costa County, cultivating Rhône varieties and Zinfandel on vines dating back to 1906.In the 1990s, the family moved their winemaking operation to a 350 acre ranch in Carneros Valley, adopting sustainable farming in 2000, and building the largest solar panelled winery in California. While others in California were focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, Fred Cline saw the potential of Rhône varieties and Zinfandel in his vineyards and continues to produce focussed, terroir-driven wines.
