2001 Cline Small Berry Mourvèdre Contra Costa County - Dark red color. The nose is very “Rhone-ish”, with a pleasant funk to it. There is also some red berry, mint, black pepper, and some floral nuances. Flavors of red berry, plum, and spice, with some minty and herbal notes. It shows some good concentration, with tannins that are fine-grained, yet somewhat gripping. Good length and balance, with some earthiness on the finish. I have to say this is very nice. It shows a lot of Rhone character, is kind of distinctive, and is very good with food. A most enjoyable wine. Yum!

All the best,

Jean

This wine has been one of my favorites for several years. Thanks for the WTN so I can learn the proper terms for what I taste.
