Klinker Brick Old Ghost Old Vine Zinfandel 2019

Klinker Brick Old Ghost Zinfandel 2019
A bold expression from Lodi’s renowned Zinfandel vineyards, this 2019 vintage combines Old World depth with New World vibrancy. Winner of Wine Enthusiast’s 90-point acclaim (“Rich and showy with dark fruit intensity”), it’s crafted for enthusiasts seeking layered complexity without sacrificing approachability.

Tasting Profile
• Aroma: Spice cabinet meets orchard—notes of candied ginger, clove-dusted plums, and a whisper of smoky oak.
• Palate: Explosive blackberry compote and dark chocolate intertwine with bright cranberry acidity for balance.
• Finish: Silky tannins frame a lingering encore of cinnamon and toasted almond—a hallmark of Klinker Brick’s signature “acid-forward” style.

Why This Stands Out
Unlike mass-produced Zinfandels, this small-batch gem (fermented in French oak) retains vibrant acidity (pH 3.4) that elevates grilled meats and spicy cuisine alike. The 15.9% ABV is masterfully integrated to avoid heaviness—a rare feat in California’s warmer appellations.

Pairing Powerhouse
• Charred tri-tip + smoked paprika aioli
• Spiced lamb tagine
• Dark chocolate (70%+) torte
