Fred Cline was inspired to make wine by his grandfather, Valeriano Jacuzzi (yes, that Jacuzzi), who lived among some of the oldest vineyards in California. Culled from century-old vines and separated into lots by ripeness and acidity at harvest, the super-concentrated fruit is aged in French oak for 7 months before the lots are combined for the final blend. Layered, plush and intense.
