The 1990 Zinfandel possesses a big, briery, earthy, plum-like nose, deep, rich, full-bodied flavors, dusty tannins, and an excellent, powerful, authoritative finish. Not a shy Zinfandel, it offers plenty of flavor in a rustic style. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. One of California's most successful "Rhone Rangers," Cline has consistently impressed me with their attractive wines. The winery also fashions a fine Mourvedre and enticing blends of Carignan and Zinfandel. Tel. 707-938-2615.
