title: Cline 1999 Zinfandel (California)
description: Full dark berry aromas and flavors and classic pepper accents mark this very likeable wine. Cocoa and meaty elements add a bit of complexity not necessarily expected at this price. Kept lively by its brisk, but not sharp acidity, it finishes peppery with a tart-sweet profile.  This straightforward, delicious wine exemplifies how competitive California can still be, despite the trend to priciness.
