Cline "Eight Spur" 2022 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

Opens with a vivid, fruit‑forward nose that blends blue raspberry candy, baking spice, and caramel, creating an inviting sweetness on the aromatics. On the palate, it shows the classic Dry Creek Valley richness, delivering bright layers of strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and ripe bramble tones alongside hints of cinnamon, tobacco leaf, vanilla, and subtle licorice. The fruit concentration is balanced by mouthwatering acidity and fine‑grained tannins, giving the wine both lift and structure. As it unfolds, deeper notes of black cherry, black currant, and warm baking spice emerge, reflecting the low‑hanging, intensely flavored fruit typical of the spur‑pruned vines that inspired the wine’s name. The finish is long, ripe, and slightly opulent, with lingering spice and a touch of sweetness that rounds out its generous, approachable character.
