Cline 97 Cotes D'Oakley Vin Rouge

[lushia]

Isn't that a beautiful wine for the price. Out here in New York it retails for about $8, but its still a bargain. So much flavor at such a low price.

Everyone........

Give up on California Cab. The future lies in Rhone varietals. California provides the perfect growing area for such grapes. Especially Santa Barbara. Need proof? Try a 1996 cab vs a Shiraz of the same vintage. For the money, shiraz will win every time. Look for Mondavi's IO, I believe this wine will open some eyes about which varietals grow best in Cal.

Cline has already proven that a reasonably priced rhone blend with exceptional character can be made readily available.

Also, expect their Vin Gris to turn a lot of heads in the rose market.
