Gnarly Head California Old Vine Zinfandel 2022
GOLD MEDAL: Mundus Vini
93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"Big, bold and rich. Everything a Cali Zin should be. This has been a favourite of ours for a number of years and it absolutely smashes it out of the park if you are looking for a bold red to go with anything off the grill. Full of ripe black fruits and held together by smooth tannins, if you haven't tried Gnarly Zin give it a crack today"
This Zinfandel is a bold wine grown from some of the oldest vines in California. Gnarly Head’s untamed vines produce full-flavored grapes, dense with aromas of blackberry bramble, juicy plum, and toasted oak. This medium-bodied wine boasts a balanced acidity and supple tannins for those who like unique, big wines with a little eclectic edge.
ABV: 14.5%
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
