Reviews

Klinker Brick Winery 2001 Old Vine Lodi - 88 Points, The Wine Advocate
A strong effort from Lodi, this dense ruby/purple-colored Zinfandel reveals a briery, crushed berry-scented nose with notions of incense and earth in the background. Full-bodied and powerful, with sweet tannin and well-integrated acidity, this lusty, heady effort will provide immense pleasure over the next 1-2 years.

Klinker Brick Winery 2001 Old Vine Zinfadel (Lodi) - 89 Points, Wine Enthusiast
A full-bodied wine, with dark, plush plum, black cherry, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, spice and anise flavors. Tannins are big, ripe and supple, while the finish is moderate in length. A fine effort from old vines and a relatively new winery.

Klinker Brick Zinfandel Lodi Old Vine 2001 - 88 Points, Wine Spectator
A dense, muscular expression of Zinfandel. Gobs of blackberry and wild berry fruit, vanilla, spice and a hint of pepper are persistent. Drink now through 2005. 1,648 cases made.
- J.L. The Wine Spectator, 5/31/03

One of the “top Zinfandels” from Lodi.
