About the winery:

Located in Carneros, Cline Cellars is one of the first wineries on the road to wine country. Once the site of a Miwok Village and the first camp of the Sonoma Mission, this historic property has spectacular sweeping views of the Sonoma Valley.

About the wine:

A Syrah is a Syrah is a Syrah and also a Shiraz but not a Sirah (Petite type)! Syrah originated in the Rhône Valley in France and is now widely planted in other regions of France, Italy, Australia (known there as Shiraz) and California. Cline’s Syrah is a wine of surprising complexity. The deep purple color explodes with fresh blueberry and black cherry jammy fruit spiced with cracked black pepper aromas.

"Copious raspberry and blackberry flavors with rich mouthfeel," Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, The Capital, March 11,  2009
