What to Expect

Zinfandel is considered America's own great indigenous grape, even though its origins lie on the Adriatic coast. Planted throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, Zinfandel is at its best in warm regions with cooler temperatures during harvest. The wines can range from off-dry Rosés, White Zinfandels, and light bistro styled wines, to big, rich powerful wines - even luscious wines for dessert bottling. The flavors range from plummy to raspberry, although deep blackberry fruit and brambly spice tones are most common.

Reviews

A classic example of the big boned Zinfandels for which Cline Cellars has become know, our Live Oak displays tremendous extraction, a firm and balanced structure of acid and fine grained tannins and a sweet, ripe raspberry flavor. Enjoy this powerful wine with grilled or barbecued beef, pasta with a rich sauce, or as the perfect ending to a hearty meal. With plenty of flesh, our Live Oak Zinfandel is delicious now and will age beautifully for over a decade.
