From the producer
Cline Family Cellars says Fred and Nancy Cline founded the winery in Oakley, California, in 1982.
Research status
We are checking the current release, the producer record, and the bottle itself. Until that work is complete, this page reports only the facts carried by the dated store feed and shared region and grape research.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.

The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
Syrah is a red grape also called Shiraz on many labels. It can make a varietal wine or join blends, and the chosen name sometimes signals the producer's intended style.
Category guide
Regional guides describe dark berry, plum, pepper and savory notes, with medium to full body and firm structure. Cooler growing conditions can emphasize pepper and freshness, while warmer sites can bring riper fruit and more weight.
