Old Vine

2005 Lodi Zinfandel

Klinker Brick Winery Old Vine Zinfandel from the Lodi region is a delightful expression of this iconic varietal, showcasing deep burgundy hues that hint at its rich concentration. This full-bodied red wine boasts moderate acidity, providing a structured mouthfeel that balances its vibrant fruit profile. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with luscious notes of dark blackberry, plum, and a touch of black cherry that dance on the palate. Its tannins are firmly integrated, adding depth and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. With a persistent finish that captivates the senses, this wine is decidedly dry, making it a superb choice for pairing with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes. Klinker Brick's dedication to old vine Zinfandel shines through in every sip, capturing the essence of Lodi's terroir.

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
