Sipsy
Cline Old Vine Zinfandel is sourced from mature California vineyards where established root systems regulate vigor and promote concentration. These older vines produce naturally lower yields, allowing Zinfandel to express depth, balance, and varietal clarity shaped by site and season.
Fermentation is managed to preserve fruit integrity while building structure through measured extraction. Aging in oak barrels contributes warmth and subtle spice, framing the wine without overwhelming its core character. The winemaking approach emphasizes integration and accessibility rather than excess power.
On the palate, ripe blackberry, brambly fruit, and black pepper unfold with steady intensity. The texture is round and generous, supported by balanced acidity and soft tannins. The finish is smooth and lingering, reflecting the maturity of the vines and a restrained, composed approach to Zinfandel.
