The aromas of plum blossom and black cherries are inviting, and the entry is plush with a developed concentration of cherry, jasmin, and rhubarb. The blend of Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, with added fractions of Nero D'Avola, Teroldego, and Malbec intesifies with layers of raspberry-chocolate ganache and a deep, rich soil character. It finishes with exotic spices and sandalwood.

Cline Family Cellars is a family-owned and operated winery in Sonoma, California, built on a passion for winemaking and rooted in respect for the land. Fred Cline started Cline Family Cellars in 1982 in Oakley, California, making his first vintages from original plantings of Mourvedre, Zinfandel, and Carignane, some of which dated back to the 1880's. In 1989, Fred purchased a 350-acre horse farm in Carneros and moved the winery to Sonoma County. As one of the original Rhone Rangers, he began planting varietals that included a number of vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne
