Melting Pot
You can keep your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I'll take your Zinfandel blends of Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, Petit Sirah and Merlot longing to provide me with good structure and a luxurious finish.
The same goes for the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Gross. I'd rather have a richly flavorful wine with lush aromas of blackberries and cherries.
And that's fine. You can go on acting all high and mighty like you're Captain Friggin' America or something for welcoming the homeless, tempest-lost with open arms. I'll just be over here with my new buds, vanilla and black pepper, enjoying these firm tannins and pleasant roundness without the stench of urine-soaked sidewalks assaulting my nostrils.
Features
2010 Clif Family Winery The Climber Red Wine 750ml 12-Pack
The 2010 Climber Red blend is a delicious mélange of five varietals. Clif Winery began with a rich and jammy Zinfandel, layered on top a structured and peppery Cabernet Franc rounded it out with just the right amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah and Merlot to achieve their goal: a ripe and juicy Zinfandel blend with good structure and a long, luxurious finish. This richly flavorful wine offers lush aromas of blackberries and cherries. These notes are accented by touches of vanilla on the palate. The Cabernet Franc in the wine adds a pleasant roundness, firm tannins and subtle hints of black pepper.

The 2010 vintage definitely kept the Clif family on their toes. A wet spring was followed by a long, cool growing season and some late heat spikes that helped the grapes reach full maturity. This unpredictable weather resulted in slightly restrained yet very elegant wines.
