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 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!

One of the better Old Vine California Zins! Just a well structured, well balanced and pairs very well with cheeses, grilled meats of course and Italian red sauces much like it’s Primitivo ancestor. Always a solid choice for Zin lovers no matter the vintage.

One of my favorite zins. The vintages aren’t so far apart in quality, they always do well because of their harvest and control methods regardless of year. Fruit nose of blackberry and currant, velvet mouth feel, smooth on the palate. Thickness of a cab sav but less tannin or dryness. Fruit taste - strawberry, blackberry, extra light oak, bit of chocolate. Back of the throat is not sharp at all with light, pleasurable alcohol.
