Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel 2018
Varietal: Zinfandel
Region: Lodi, San Joaquin County, California
Country: USA
Size: 750ml
Notes: This, Klinker Brick's flagship zinfandel, is made from vineyard blocks up to 120 years old. Delta Breezes and the associated fog allow us to retain above average acidity for the region, providing notes of dark cherry and spices. Barrel fermentation brings additional structure to thin skin varietal. The extremely low yields of century old vineyards bring notes of rhubarb and cranberry, with a hint of black pepper. The result is a balanced and complex Zinfandel perfect for both Summer barbecues and Fall fire pits.

Liberally spiced with oak, this full-bodied wine has equally rich fruit flavors that don’t get overwhelmed. It starts with coconut, vanilla and cedar, then reveals delicious ripe plums, raspberries and strawberries on a smooth texture. Editors’ Choice.

Dried cherry notes meet jammy raspberry flavors in this user-friendly Zinfandel, which is also accented by dried herb and white pepper.
