Cline too Crowded
Glass Man, Orange County
Cline. Maybe the worst tasting room experience ever due to the crushing crowd. We were very disappointed, because Cline had been a favorite on our previous trip to Sonoma. The tasting room filled up with a bus tour. There must have been fifty people in this tiny tasting room. It was insane. Diane poured, and she was very nice. • 08 Oakley 5 Reds, $11. Not balanced, not much fruit. • 08 Cashmere, $21 • 08 Ancient Vine Carignane, $16 • 08 Ancient Vine Mourvedre, $18 • 08 S C Sarah, Sunny Side, $12 A little like a peppery Zin. We liked this the most. • 08 Cool Climate Sarah, $16 • 09 California Zin, $12 • 08 Ancient Vine Zin, $18. Very nice! • 07 Reserve Zin, $18.20, which was 30% off.

We loved this winery

My husband and I just spent 11 days in Napa. We were there on my husbands birthday and they gave him a free bottle of wine! The also gave him his tasting for free! We found wines that were spicy and full bodied just like we like them! We bought several bottles. The grounds are beautiful. Thank you Cline Winery!

Great Assortment of Reasonably Priced Wines

You’ll know you’re at Cline when you see the big red truck in front, which is featured on their low-priced Red Truck Wine label. We just had to take our picture on it. Cline’s farmhouse tasting room is somewhat small for the large crowds that they attract, but it’s not difficult to get waited on. When we were there, they were offering a complimentary tasting where you can choose 5 wines from their long list, as well as a reserve tasting for a small fee, so amongst 2-3 people, you can taste through all the wines. This is one winery where I would say both their lower priced wines and their higher priced wines are both exceptional values. Plan to buy at least a case of wine here, because Cline is so good and such a bargain. Their highest priced wines are only in the mid 30s. At home, Cline is one of our predominant everyday wines. Spend a few dollars for the reserve tasting, because this has some real gems, especially if you love a variety of Zinfandels or Syrahs. The reserve Mourvedre was already sold out. Cline also makes Carignane, Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre blend, Roussane (white), Viognier (white), and others. Cline has a port-like Late harvest Mourvedre that is wonderful. Cline offers a tour that is more historical, about the area, than it is about their wine, but it is an interesting tour. I hope the crowded tasting room won’t make you turn around and walk out, because your stay will be well worth it.

Must Stop Here!

Yes this is a must stop for: the wines made from organic grapes, the very cool ponds, and the people. We all had a blast, bought wine, and lazed around the grounds. They make some great Rhone wines. You will not be disappointed.
