The Cline Live Oak Zinfandel is named after Live Oak Road in Oakley, California. The vineyards run adjacent to this road and consistently produce some of their most complex, concentrated and unique lots of Zinfandel. Cline Cellars has chosen to farm this vineyard in the same way the Italian and Portuguese immigrants did when they planted their ancient vineyards at the end of the 19th century, by dry-farming and head-pruning.

Deep and concentrated blackberry aromas are complemented by layered notes of spice, briar and notable rich, creamy oak. The mouth-filling berry concentration and solid tannin structure lead to a long finish. The wine delivers richness and balance that reflects focus and precision.
