Cline Big Break Vineyard Zinfandel 2018

Rooted in Oakley's storied terroir, Big Break Vineyard produces distinctive Zinfandel from century-old, dry-farmed vines thriving in sandy, well-drained soils. Named after the historic 1928 levee break, this vineyard benefits from cooling breezes off the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers, while its proximity to a Eucalyptus grove imparts subtle minty notes. The result is a wine that captures the full depth and character of premium Zinfandel, shaped by ideal ripening conditions and a unique convergence of natural elements.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with slow-cooked barbecue beef brisket, grilled venison steaks, wood-fired pepper sausage pizza, smoky lamb chops, and aged gouda.
