(286 views) | | | Tasted by Sagan99 on 7/24/2022 & rated 86 points: Cline is a go to cellar defender of virtually all red and white. It's like traveling the world and knowing what you will get at Starbucks or McDonald's etc. Nothing fancy. Just consistently authentic quality of whatever varietal.
This Viognier...
Intensity is medium clear, yellow.
Peach, pear, lemon, grapefruit, green apples on the nose. Pineapple and mango, too. A little grass mixed in.
Acidic but balanced nicely with a 30 second plus finish.
There's little if any structure here, though a nice medium bodied white.... But it's a drink soon wine.
Tonight was a Potlatch rubbed Pacific salmon, of which we have usually had a buttery oaky chardonnay.
But this Viognier, was a very pleasant accompaniment!
Certainly we've had Rieslings as well, but they're often a little "rich" for this fish.
******Has anyone other thoughts on wines to accompany salmon??
Love to hear about it in the commentary.
Thanks very much in advance!! 🌞****
I could easily give this wine a higher grade, but, at less than $20, I think it's gotta be 80's at best. Even if I like anything, Cline.
PS- Drink the Rainbow! (597 views) | | | Tasted by Dulcie and Aylwin on 3/3/2022: Consuming the second bottle shortly after the first one, consequently no new information to add. It is sportingly priced with some nice tropical notes. (689 views) | | | Tasted by Dulcie and Aylwin on 1/30/2022: Cline is a favorite of ours as it is a very nice facility to visit: friendly, welcoming staff, no tasting fee, and open on New Year's Day. All of which really has nothing to do with the quality of this bottle. It is a pretty nice viognier with those characteristic tropical notes, a lightweight in this class and pretty simple, but then note the price.

T7 (554 views) | | | Tasted by Sid G on 8/24/2021 & rated 87 points: Butter yellow color and a buttery feel in the mouth. Nice yellow fruit tones of pineapple and peach. A little too much like a chardonnay for my taste as it lacks the astringent qualities of the best viogniers. But a very pleasant and enjoyable wine.

This is nonsense.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
