The Old Ghost represents the best Zinfandel that Klinker Brick produces each year. An intense nose of spice, chocolate and botanicals lead to full-bodied flavors of juicy pomegranate and ripe cherry layered with dried herbs. True to the Klinker Brick style, this wine is bursting with acidity and concentrated notes of dark berries and tobacco. Layers of complexity lead to a core of medium tannins with a long, richly textured finish.
Pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables and charcuterie.
