2001 Cline Zinfandel

[Drew]

As of late I've been disapointed in some of the 2001 California offerings and this Cline gets put in that category.
Deep ruby/purple. Spicy zin nose. A lighter syled zin than their previous vintages with brambly, spicy zin flavors with an off putting mineral bitter flavor that I couldn't get through, which lasted through the linguring finish. Without this note and a little more body, would be a nice value zin, IMHO. 13.8% Alc/vol. $9.99
