Klinker Brick Winery 2016 Klinker Brick Marisa Old Vine Zinfandel

Great wine begins with a suitable climate and soil, both of which are found in Lodi. Sandy Loam soil coupled with the hot, cold exchange that graces Lodi from day to night creates a utopic environment to cultivate warm-weather varietals including Zinfandel, Cabernet and Syrah.A certain level of skill, attention to detail and harvest accuracy is required from the vintner as well. What once began as a grape-growing community from the early 1900’s until the late 1980’s, Lodi is now a thriving wine-producing region adorned with dozens of wineries, including Klinker Brick.

Alcohol percentage: 15.8

Tasting Notes

Our Marisa Old Vine Zinfandel is produced from an 89-year old, single vineyard block. This vintage is showing bright aromas of berries and fresh vanilla bean laced with clove and spice. Flavors of black cherry, black berry, cardamom and pepper are wrapped in a structure of suppletannins.
