California Vintage 2019

2019 was, notwithstanding some terrible fires, a very good one.A long warm summer made up for wet weather in the spring and the growing season was long. Harvesting was carried out without the necessity to rush anything, and most fruit was safely gathered in when wildfires broke out late in October. Some wineries were devastated by the flames but most came away unscathed and with little smoke taint affecting the wines. White varieties show excellent potential, as does pinot noir, but most reds show very well in a very good vintage.

What do we have here? A Californian red around the tenner mark? This is going straight to the top of my 2021 barbecue wine list with a bullet. Smoky tomato ketchup and black fruit aromas are enhanced by a violet lift before sweet vanilla and spicy cloves join the party on the palate to help balance the acidity and those burger-and-banger bashing tannins. Buyer and master of wine Sarah Knowles praised producer Cline Cellars and similar medium-sized, family-owned Californian firms for offering great value under the £15 threshold – and with this bottle it’s hard to fault her reasoning. -

The Times 50 best reds and rosés: Be first in the queue for this classy red from Cline Cellars. It’s a judicious mix of mostly zinfandel, syrah and carignan with a dab of mourvèdre and grenache.
