The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1982 by Fred and Nancy Cline in Oakley, California, Cline Cellars has been a pioneer in showcasing Rhône-style blends and old-vine Zinfandels. Now based in Sonoma, the family-run winery remains dedicated to sustainable farming practices and preserving California's oldest historic vineyards.

How it is made

Sourced from historic, dry-farmed vineyards in Contra Costa County where sandy soils protect the self-rooted, centenarian vines. The grapes are carefully harvested and fermented in stainless steel before aging in French oak barrels to preserve their intense varietal character.

From Contra Costa County, California, USA
