i had this wine two or three years ago and remembered it being it concentrated, dark, velvety, deep - what i usually really enjoy. this time it was pretty unremarkable. i am aware this sounds ridiculously obvious, but the only real description i could come up with for the nose on this juice this time was "box of sunmaid raisins". it really just lacked distinction. i keep telling myself that cline makes pleasant wines at a good price...but am not sure why i am convinced of that. i definitely would not spend the 17 bucks i dropped at world market on this wine again. i even decanted this one and drank it in my fancy wine glass. i am not a huge fan of super tannic wines, but i would have liked a little more punch in the tongue from this one. it was just flat. for those inquiring minds, the cline cashmere is a blend of mouvedre, syrah, and grenache. interesting thought, a bit lacking in execution. not bad, but definitely not great. so you believe i really drank this wine...see pic.
