Small Berry

2013 Contra Costa County Mourvedre

Cline Small Berry is a delightful red wine crafted from the Mourvèdre varietal, hailing from the picturesque Contra Costa County. This 2013 vintage bursts with vibrant flavors that showcase the rich, dark fruit character typical of Mourvèdre, offering pronounced notes of ripe blackberries and plums alongside subtle hints of earthiness. The wine presents a medium body, maintaining a harmonious balance that makes it incredibly approachable. Its refreshing acidity provides a lively mouthfeel, perfectly complementing the fruit intensity. Tannins are notably smooth and well-integrated, contributing to the overall elegance of the wine without overpowering its fruit-forward profile. With a dry disposition, Cline Small Berry is an excellent choice for any occasion, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes.

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.
