Cline, Contra Costa County (California) Carignane 2010

Nov 23, 2011

By Paul Lukacs

 A rich, ripe, jammy wine, full of blue and black berry fruit flavors with a peppery, spicy kick in the finish.  Surprisingly well-balanced (surprising because the fruit is so ripe), this is a red that wants to be paired with deeply-flavored, winter-weight dishes such as meat stews or hearty casseroles.
