2001 Cline Ancient Vines

I thought Drew had posted a TN on this, but couldn't find it. Picked it up at Costco a couple of weeks ago at $10.99 per. Solid berry flavors, stout enough to get my attention with 15.5% ABV. Might improve a bit with another couple in hiding, but I'd buy & consume more at the price and progression point. With frozen pizza 'cuz I didn't want to spend a Barbera d'Alba.

Thot I'd posted on the hummer then checked and mine be the 2-grand model. Pretty consistant P/Q producer. WW

I have yet to find a dog in Clines portfolio. Live Oaks is good as well. Will be more than the ancient vines, but very, very good. Retails here for $23.00, yet if Costco has it I'm sure it will be less than that.

Look for Cline's latest project - Red Truck. Very limeted production, but it is a combination of 6 grapes (Mourvedre, Syrah, Cab Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Alicante Bouschet, and Pinot Noir) that never touches wood. A very interesting. Give it a try.

I saw the Red Truck in a place called World Market last week and didn't realize it was made by Cline. Seems like the price was $7 or so. Passed it by in favor of a few '00 Cline Los Carneros Syrah (4291 cases made), which are now asleep in the cellar.

On the label the only thing that says Cline is the license plate on the red truck. Also this is a drink now wine. Well worth a try for the price.

Last time I saw the Lil' Red Truck it was sitting on the show room floor of my father's Dodge dealership.

It didn't have a license plate, just a blank spot where one could be mounted. It did have some oak though. There were oak railings around the bed.

Oh, is that a hemi? Or is that just a different little red truck.
