2023 Cashmere by Cline Red Blend North Coast California

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: Fred & Nancy Cline were original Rhone Rangers introducing a new generation to Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. In 1998, the Clines made a special, half-barrel blend for an auction to support Hospice du Rhone. The blend was composed of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre with a supple, smooth and round style Nancy likened to “liquid cashmere."

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "Loaded with pepper and rubbed sage notes up front, this savory rendition is balanced by a perky core of cherry and wild strawberry. Steers back toward savory elements, with a briny olive accent lending a mouthwatering quality to the finish around mineral-tinged tannins. Distinctive. Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah"
