93pts James Suckling
Cline “Rock Carved” 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley is a bold, multilayered red that blends power with finesse. It opens with aromas of black plum, currant, saddle leather, and spice, while the palate reveals softer notes of raspberry, crushed mint, and black pepper. The wine is full-bodied and structured, with succulent flavors of blackberry, plum, and cedar, supported by smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Hints of mocha and leather add depth, and the finish is long and drying—suggesting good aging potential. With small additions of Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet, it’s a charismatic blend that pairs well with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or herb-crusted lamb.
