2020 Zinfandel | Klinker Brick Old Vine California Red Wine

Klinker Brick Zinfandel 2020
Crafted as Klinker Brick’s signature offering, this Lodi Zinfandel embodies the essence of California’s renowned wine country. Sourced from century-old vineyards—some dating back over 120 years—this bold red wine captures deep complexity through its rich history and meticulous production process.

The unique microclimate of Lodi plays a starring role here: cool Delta Breezes and morning fog work together to preserve vibrant acidity, a rarity in this warm region. This balance delivers a refreshing yet robust profile with flavors of dark cherry and warm spices like clove, while hints of black pepper add an intriguing twist.

Low yields from these ancient vines concentrate natural sugars and aromatics, resulting in lush raspberry and cranberry undertones that harmonize beautifully with its structured backbone. Barrel fermentation further elevates its character, offering a silky texture and layered depth typical of premium Zinfandel blends.

Whether you’re grilling outdoors on a summer evening or savoring hearty dishes by a fall fire pit, this wine’s balanced acidity cuts through rich flavors while its spicy fruit notes shine alongside bold meals. At 15.4% alcohol by volume, it carries a full-bodied presence without overwhelming your palate—a testament to its skillful craftsmanship.

Pair it confidently with grilled meats, smoky dishes, or even spicy fare thanks to its versatile flavor profile. Aged in French oak barrels for added nuance, this limited-production gem stands out among Lodi Zinfandels for its elegance and approachable complexity.
