"Cline Cellars Excellent Zinfandels (and stunning Mourvèdre) from Contra Costa County at very fair prices."

Cline Cellars newly released 1998 California Syrah receives its first review in the February 2000 Issue of Wine & Spirits magazine. WS rates the Cal Syrah a GOOD VALUE wine.

"A simple, fat and fleshy syrah with dry tannins and a little musky, barnyard character. Open a bottle with grilled burgers." Suggested retail $10

Feb. - March 2000 .

Brendan Eliason, journalist for WineX Magazine goes a few rounds with Cline Cellars' wines. This is what Brendan said after his visit...

"Tasting at Cline is like prize fighting: You start by playfully sparring with its delicious '98 California zinfandel (one of the greatest, most consistent values), take some serious punches from the '97 Ancient Vines zinfandel, and then take a serious glove to the head from its '97 Small Berry mourvèdre. Just when you start to get your senses back, you get a mean on-two combination of spice and jam from the '97 Live Oak zin and, if you're still standing, a knockout blow from its '97 Bridgehead zin. (This last one's the Mohammed Ali of wine - a unique combination of incredible power and finesse.) I knew I was in trouble, however, when the burly '97 Big Break zin tried to bite by ear off!"
