Tasting Notes For Cline Live Oak Vineyards Zinfandel 2019

Live Oak Zinfandel is known for its ripeness and individuality. This wine is a classic example of the big Zinfandels, for which Cline Cellars has become known. The 2019 Live Oak Zinfandel is deep ruby in color and opens with aromas of dark berries. On the palate the wine delivers notes of rich berry and notes of sweet spice. This well-balanced and lively wine mingles structure, acidity and fine-grained tannins perfectly to culminate in a long and lingering finish.

Critic Ratings

Tasting Panel Review – Rated 92:From ancient, head-pruned vines, this single-vineyard Zin shows modern, elegant style. Aromas and flavors of blue flowers, ripe cranberry, pomegranate, and rhubarb lead the way. Milk-chocolate sleekness and a finish of licorice and toasted oak reflect ten months of aging in (40% new) French oak.
