Cline Cellars Ancient Vines Mourvèdre Rosé 2019
Vintage Character
Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre Rosé 2019 comes from Contra Costa County in California, sourced from the winery’s historic old-vine sites around Oakley, a distinctive area known for deep, sandy soils that helped many vineyards survive phylloxera and preserve own-rooted vines. The 2019 vintage in California delivered a balanced growing season that favored freshness and steady ripening, giving this wine particularly strong value through its combination of bright fruit, poise, and old-vine concentration. Those venerable Mourvèdre vines, many dry-farmed and planted in well-drained sands under warm delta influence, yield rosé with both aromatic lift and an uncommon savory nuance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, it offers lively aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon, pomegranate, rose petal, and a touch of citrus zest, followed by a dry, medium-bodied palate with crisp acidity, supple texture, and a gently stony, peppery edge. The finish is clean and persistent, carrying red-berry fruit with refreshing tension rather than sweetness. This is an easy rosé to enjoy on its own, but it shines at the table with grilled salmon, Niçoise salad, or shrimp tacos.
Winery Background
Cline Family Cellars was founded in 1982 by Fred Cline and became an important champion of Rhône varieties in California, with a long-standing commitment to preserving historic Contra Costa vineyards. The estate is widely associated with sustainable farming, and these ancient sites are prized for their low yields and naturally concentrated fruit. For the Ancient Vines rosé, the winemaking is typically straightforward and freshness-driven, with cool fermentation in stainless steel to protect purity and aromatic detail rather than overlaying oak influence. What sets Cline apart is its rare access to century-old, own-rooted vines in Oakley, a living link to California’s viticultural history that gives even its most approachable wines genuine character.
