Cline Cellars Old Vine Zinfandel 2024 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
Bursting with dark cherry and blackberry intensity, this Old Vine Zinfandel reveals layered complexity on the palate. Notes of wild spice, cracked pepper, and subtle oak influence frame the wine's robust structure. The finish is long and warming, with integrated tannins that grip gracefully.
This wine possesses excellent ageing potential. The concentrated fruit, balanced acidity, and well-developed tannin framework suggest it will evolve beautifully over the next 8–12 years. Early drinking rewards immediate pleasure, while cellaring will allow secondary flavours - leather, tobacco, and earthiness - to emerge and deepen.
This wine will pair very well with roast belly pork and any spicy stew. Bao buns, hoisin duck and sweet, smoky BBQ ribs.
