Pinot Noir thrives in the Petaluma Gap and the region has become one of the most sought after appelations for the varietal. With lots of bright fruits balanced with amazing texture, silky tannin, fresh acidity and a depth of complexity, this wine drinks well but will do well aging.

Cline Family Cellars is a family-owned and operated winery in Sonoma, California, built on a passion for winemaking and rooted in respect for the land. Fred Cline started Cline Family Cellars in 1982 in Oakley, California, making his first vintages from original plantings of Mourvedre, Zinfandel, and Carignane, some of which dated back to the 1880's. In 1989, Fred purchased a 350-acre horse farm in Carneros and moved the winery to Sonoma County. As one of the original Rhone Rangers, he began planting varietals that included a number of vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne.
