TN:Cline 2004 Live Oak Zin...Contra Costa County...

Contra Costa County farm is dry farmed and tended to like the Italian immigrants did when they planted the vines in the late 1800's

The wine was Audouzed for 4 hours

The color went from dark ruby/ garnet to a purple haze

The nose was big menthol eucalyptus followed by bursting blueberry

The mouth-feel very balanced full-bodied across the mid palate pure silk...cinnamon spice, black licorice...midway through a flutter of black cherry candy whispering by...

Long hang time on the fruits notes with a sharp finish...

Real cork a big plus...had fun playing with the bold legs that she had...

My score 92 points drink now through 2014 +
