Small Berry Mourvèdre

2009 Contra Costa County Mourvèdre

Cline Small Berry Mourvèdre from the 2009 vintage showcases the exceptional qualities of this varietal cultivated in the fertile Contra Costa County. This beautifully crafted red wine presents a full-bodied experience, offering a generous mouthfeel that captivates the palate. The acidity strikes a delightful balance, ensuring a refreshing quality that enhances the overall drinkability. Rich notes of dark fruit dominate, showcasing prominent characteristics of blackberries and plums, while whispers of spice add a layer of complexity. The tannins are structured yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that complements the wine's luscious fruit profile. With a dry finish, this Mourvèdre stands out as an artful expression of its region, well-suited for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Central Coast

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.
