Klinker Brick Winery 2011 Brick and Mortar (SRP $30): This deeply colored red blended wine is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Petite Sirah, and 10% Old Vine Zinfandel. Rich aromas of plum, boysenberry, and blackberry preserve fill the nose with hints of allspice and cocoa nibs. The palate is full-bodied and round with layers of generous fruit, a velvety texture, and a spice-accented, delightful finish. Overall, this wine is large-framed and ripe, but it carries the weight and alcohol well. I enjoyed it both on its own and with spare ribs. Region: Lodi (Mokelumne River AVA), California. (Other info: ABV 15%, matured in American oak, cork enclosure.)
