What to Expect

Grenache is the main grape in many Rhone blends and most Cotes du Rhone and Chateaunuef-du-pape. It's a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of strawberry and raspberry. While not prone to producing particularly rich or complex wines in France, Grenache is one of the world's most widely-planted grapes, producing unique expression where ever it is planted. It is particularly common in Spain as Garnacha, and Sardinia, as Canonnau,

Roger Dial

To be sure, this is a very targeted, market-driven new production… and I think it does exactly what it sets out to do and deserves to be a tremendous success. For openers, the Cline marketers have got the name right. “Cashmere” evokes both the texture of the wine and the casual lifestyle of the target audience. This is an utterly charming wine, without pretense, blended from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. A <i>California-livin'</i> Rhone wine, as it were. The nose and flavor profile are forthrightly coffee, tobacco, mint, and other exotic nuances of the usual dark fruit read more...

Wine Tasting NotesWe initially created this blend as an auction lot for the Hospice du Rhone held in Paso Robles each year. Cashmere is a very flavorful, smooth wine offering big cherry, raspberry and chocolate notes with hints of cracked black pepper and plum. 63% Grenache, 22% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre.
