Klinker Brick Old Vine Lodi Mokelumne River Zinfandel 2021

The Felten Family own and manage fifteen individual vineyard blocks of “Old Vine” Zinfandel that range in age from 40 to 120 years old. Each vineyard is planted in sandy loam soils in the Mokelumne River Appellation of Lodi and the Clements Foothills. In the nineties, the family began to market their zinfandel in the bulk wine market, selling to a number of prestigious, benchmark producers of Zinfandel in Napa and Sonoma Counties. In 2000, Steve and Lori produced their first vintage of Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel. They continue to produce wine from all of the vineyard blocks, culling only the very best lots for bottling Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel and designated vineyard wines. 94 Points Wine Enthusiast This wine is rich, concentrated, with aromas of dark berries, coffee, baking spices, and potpourri on the nose. The flavors on the palate are Black currant confiture, huckleberry, coriander, tobacco leaf, and a dry finish with grippy tannins. Pair with Saint Louis Style Ribs.
