Cline Five Reds Blend
California

This easy drinking red is medium-bodied with the spicy berry flavors that we want in our Zinfandels. The various Rhone components add pepper, cherry and dark fruit character. The wine has smooth tannins and luscious fruit and should age well into the future. Ideal for pairing with medium bodied foods such as a good steak or Ahi Tuna with a tomato based sauce.


Cline Four Whites Blend
California

First and foremost, when selecting grapes and wines for the OAKLEY four WHITES program, Cline is particularly conscious of good acid balance, intensity of fruit, and what each single varietal will offer to the blend as a whole. This blend offers an added degree of complexity with pear and green apple notes. We intend this wine to be a uniquely Cline interpretation of an everyday table white - adventurous, affordable and delicious.
