Cline Small Berry Mourvedre 2003
Varietal: Mourvedre
Vineyard: Cline
Region: Other California, California
The vineyard where the Small Berry Mourvèdre grows is a small acreage block that consistently produces one of Cline's most complex and concentrated Mourvèdres. This wine exemplifies the unique character of the variety while showcasing the elegant flavors that are contributed by the phylloxera resistant sandy soils - described as Cline's singular Oakley terroir. The proximity of this vineyard to Eucalyptus trees also contributes to the unique signature of this wine.
Tobacco, plum, chocolate and eucalyptus-mint dominate this wine. With plenty of flesh and a firm balanced structure of acid and fine-grained tannins, Cline Cellars 2003 Small Berry Mourvèdre is delicious now and will age beautifully for the next five to seven years.
