Klinker Brick Winery 2016 Old Vine Zinfandel Mokelumne River, Lodi California

Description

This is the Klinker Brick flagship Zinfandel, and it’s made from vineyard blocks with up to 120 years old vines. Classic techniques of barrel fermentation and a more judicious time on the grape skins provide a balanced structure to help counter this lush region. They pick early in the morning when temperatures are very mild. Each hand-picked Zinfandel block is hand sorted in the vineyard. Once at the winery, the grapes are de-stemmed, gently crushed, and put into tanks, where after a time, the wine is drained, and the skins are gently pressed. Each vineyard lot is kept separately in barrels for maturation. The resulting wine is lush and complex.
