Medium to deep ruby-purple, the 2017 Mourvèdre Ancient Vines opens with notes of tar and potting soil over charcuterie, olive, fried herbs, cocoa and a core of baked blackberries and black cherries plus a hint of blue fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it gives up luscious dark fruits in the mouth, with a firm frame of lightly chewy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and savory.

The 2011 Ancient Vine Mourvedre from Contra Costa, an area well-known for this varietal, is decent. It is obviously meant to be a lightweight Mourvedre and spends some time in American oak, but is straightforward and spicy with adequate fruit. Like all the Cline wines, drinking this in its first 12-18 months after release is the smart choice. This value winery has turned out a bevy of competent wines, the brightest of them being their old vine Zinfandels.Tel. (800) 546-2070
