Cline Cellars Ancient Vines Zinfandel Contra Costa County 2022
The Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel is a bold, characterful Californian red made from some of Contra Costa County’s oldest dry-farmed vineyards, many over 100 years old. These historic vines produce naturally low yields of intensely concentrated fruit, resulting in a wine of richness, depth and unmistakable personality. Tasting Notes Bursting with spicy strawberry, coffee and chocolate notes, this Zinfandel is plush and mouth-filling. Soft tannins support the ripe, juicy fruit, while 10 months in American oak (38% new) adds layers of vanilla and sweet spice, perfectly complementing the wine’s old vine intensity.

Musar Jeune Rouge 2022
Chateau Musar Jeune Rouge is a vibrant, unoaked red wine from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley, grown at 1,000 metres above sea level. Blending Cinsault , Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from younger vines, it delivers classic Musar character in a fresher, more approachable style designed for early enjoyment. Why You'll Love It The Musar Jeune range was created to showcase the Bekaa Valley's extraordinary terroir in a more immediate, fruit-driven style. Unoaked and unfiltered, following the same non-interventionist philosophy as the Grand Vin, Jeune Rouge is all about freshness, vibrancy, and drinkability. It is the perfect introduction to Chateau Musar for those new to the estate, and a reliable everyday bottle for those who already know it well. Vineyard & Production Sourced from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley at 1,000 metres altitude, where the combination of altitude, limestone soils, and the Bekaa's continental climate produces grapes of natural freshness and intensity. The grapes are fermented in concrete vats at 27-29°C using a non-interventionist approach. The wine is unoaked and unfiltered, preserving the purity and character of the fruit. Tasting Notes Deep purple-beetroot in colour. The nose is dominated by fresh red fruits, strawberries, and cherries, with savoury, earthy depth and hints of spice and black pepper. On the palate, it is elegant and layered with a lively freshness. Designed for early enjoyment but with the structure to develop further with careful ageing. Perfect Pairings Versatile and food-friendly, pairing beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, lamb dishes, and mezze. Also excellent alongside spiced Middle Eastern cuisine, lentil dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own slightly chilled. The Blend Cinsault 50%, Syrah 35%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%
