Old Vine Zinfandel

Lodi Zinfandel

Cline Old Vine Zinfandel is a sumptuous red wine hailing from the renowned Lodi region, celebrated for its exceptional aging vineyards. This wine showcases a full-bodied structure, enveloping the palate with a tantalizingly bright acidity that refreshes without overwhelming. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing lush notes of dark berry fruits, pepper, and a hint of fig that dance gracefully across the tongue. Tannins are noted but remain supple, creating a delightful framework that enhances the overall experience without detracting from the wine's fruit-forward character. With a well-balanced, dry finish, Cline Old Vine Zinfandel is both approachable and delightful, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
