One of the best value boutique Zinfandels in California! An intense, fruit-filled wine you expect to cost at least twice as much. If you have yet to try a Zin from Lodi, this is the one! The Klinker Brick 2013 Old Vines Zinfandel is produced from an amalgam of 14 different vineyard blocks, ranging in age from 35 to 110 years old. This vintage saw lower yields than 2005, producing a wine that is both complex and bold. Showing typical Klinker Brick cherry/berry/plum fruit components with aromatic spices on the nose, this wine is incredibly well balanced with a silky smooth texture and a long lingering finish. One of their best!

Not a big zinfandel person. Don’t mind a blend . Straight ZIN doesn’t interest me anymore at all.

Roasted red and black fruits, cayenne, nice lingering finish.

A well built Zin. The traditional jam does not get in the way of its spice, and earthier notes. The alcohol brings some heat. A great wine to match with any autumn fair featuring maple syrup or brown sugar

2013. Jammy and peppery. Better on its own than with penne and meatballs we had for lunch.

This paired really well with a classic Valencia paella. Nice full mouth feel and the dark fruit suited me.

Big bold Zin. Not going to kill you with complexity but you’ll get a mouthful of jammy spice. At this price point you’ll get a decent drink.

A pretty good value spicy Zin. Nothing extraordinary but drinkable for a few bucks.
