It is hard not to like Cline's Small Berry Mourvedre. Their 2002 release is big, tasty and begs to be paired with some spicy food. The wine shows a dark ruby core that fades to a light ruby rim. The nose is treated to aromas of dark plums, cinnamon and clove along with hints of barrel toast. A solid structure of powdery tannins provides fine astringency in an ample body. Lively acidity keeps it fresh and tight all the way to a most generous finish. This wine shows a concentrated intensity and is very agreeable overall.
