CLINE CHARD SEVEN RCHL(SC)22 SS

Details

Cline Family Cellars is a family-owned and operated winery in Sonoma, California, built on a passion for winemaking and rooted in respect for the land. Fred Cline started Cline Family Cellars in 1982 in Oakley, California, making his first vintages from original plantings of Mourvedre, Zinfandel, and Carignane, some of which dated back to the 1880’s. In 1989, Fred purchased a 350-acre horse farm in Carneros and moved the winery to Sonoma County. As one of the original Rhone Rangers, he began planting varietals that included a number of vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne

Tasting Notes:
Seven Ranchlands Chardonnay comes from Cline’s estate vineyards in the Petaluma Gap and Carneros. 50% of the wine is cultured-yeast fermented in stainless tanks, with the balance wild-yeast fermented in barrel giving Seven Ranchlands richer, more complex flavors and aromatics.
