Klinker Brick Wines
At Klinker Brick Winery, every bottle tells a story of place, heritage, and craftsmanship.

Rooted in the heart of Lodi, California, and grounded in sustainable farming, Klinker Brick continues to produce wines of remarkable depth, vibrancy, and distinction.
A Legacy Rooted in the Vines
Drawing fruit from some of Lodi’s most historic vineyards—many planted more than a century ago—Klinker Brick’s wines are deeply tied to the land. These old vines, with their naturally low yields and deeply rooted systems, deliver grapes of exceptional concentration and character. All estate vineyards are certified sustainable under the LODI RULES program, ensuring both environmental responsibility and long-term agricultural health.

Signature Reds

- Cabernet Sauvignon – Deep and layered with cassis, blueberry, mocha, and well-integrated oak. Built for both structure and finesse.
- Petite Sirah – Bold, inky, and powerful. Packed with dark fruit, cocoa, and notes of graphite.
- Farrah Syrah – A vineyard-driven Syrah that balances savory spice with lush dark berry fruit.
Blends & Limited Bottlings
- Brickmason Red Blend – A smooth, approachable blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet. Plush and easy-drinking.

White & Rosé Wines
Klinker Brick’s white and rosé wines offer a refreshing contrast to the boldness of the reds—crisp, aromatic, and layered with purity of fruit and finesse.
Albariño
Bright, zippy, and floral, this Iberian-inspired white bursts with citrus, white peach, and mineral notes. Consistently one of the highest-rated domestic Albariños in California, it’s refreshing, focused, and immensely food-friendly.
Grenache Blanc
Rich and textural, yet fresh and vibrant. Green apple, melon, and citrus blossom flow across a creamy palate with balanced acidity and subtle spice.
Bricks & Roses Rosé
Crafted in a dry, Provençal style from Grenache, Syrah, Carignane, and Mourvèdre, this rosé is pale in hue and layered with wild strawberry, rose petal, and watermelon. Elegant and crisp.
