Winemaker Notes

This, Klinker Brick's flagship Zinfandel, is made from vineyard blocks up to 120 years old. Delta Breezes and the associated fog allow the winery to retain above average acidity for the region, providing notes of dark cherry and spices. Barrel fermentation provides additional structure to a thin skinned varietal. The extremely low yields of century old vineyards bring notes of raspberry and cranberry, with a hint of black pepper. The result is a balanced and complex Zinfandel perfect for both Summer barbecues and Fall fire pits.
