Late Harvest

2009 Contra Costa County Mourvèdre

Cline Late Harvest 2009 is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases the Mourvèdre varietal hailing from the esteemed Contra Costa County. This wine is defined by its full-bodied character, offering a delightful richness that envelops the palate. With a high level of acidity, it presents a bright and lively persona, making it incredibly refreshing and mouthwatering. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of dark berries and ripe stone fruits that are harmoniously balanced by the wine's notable tannins, lending structure without overpowering the fruit. As a late harvest expression, this Mourvèdre captures a sense of sweetness that complements its well-crafted complexities, resulting in a pleasingly off-dry finish that invites one to savor each sip.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
