Three 2007 Old Vines Zinfandel August, 2008 605 Buyers 446+ cases in 2 days

California Old Vine Matt Cline's Make Up Last Friday, we were really taken by surprise. We've been featuring Matt Cline's voluptuous old vine reds for over a year on WineAccess, and it seems a lot of our customers are as enthusiastic about Matt's work as we are. We just never thought that in the middle of August, so many people would be this enthusiastic. The 2007 Three Petite Sirah sold out in less than two hours after our email broadcaster hit SEND. The purchasing was so frantic that we called Matt (who was in the vineyards in Oakley in the midst of the 2008 harvest!) and managed to eke out another 50 cases. Didn't much matter. That only lasted another 25 minutes. The good news was that 250 cases were sold in under 2 hours. The bad news is that 1 out of every 3 customers didn't have a chance to read the email before it was sold out. Matt was on his second beer after a scorching day in those old sandy soil vineyards when we called. There wasn't much small talk. We told him we needed a makeup, and this time he couldn't limit us to 250 cases. We had already decided on the stunning, voluptuous 2007 Old Vines Zinfandel, made from a blend of 84 year-old vine sandy soil plantings, but this time we made him agree that no one who ordered in the first 36 hours would be disappointed. What's so special about Matt's Old Vines Zinfandel? It's a combination of the incredibly voluptuous, spicy-fruit qualities that come from 84 year-old Zinfandel vines, and the brightness and freshness provided by the sand soil. At less than $20, it's almost impossible to find wines like this, wines that marry Zinfandel richness and power with almost Old World structure and length. So this is what Matt has agreed to. This offer will remain live for 36 hours. Everyone who orders over that period of time will have their wine shipped in late September when the temperatures cool down. At just $16.50/bottle on case purchases, this is a no-brainer. Free shipping on 6 bottles or more. Tasting Notes 2007 Three Old Vines Zinfandel "Deep purple color to the edge. Ripe, primary nose of concentrated blueberries and benchmark Zinfandel spice. Dense and concentrated on the palate, but with fine layers of minerality (the Delhi sand) sneaking through. Fine structure in the finish with plenty of cut to balance the richness. Drink now for the sheer primary fruit pleasure or age for up to 5 years." --WineAccess, August 2008
