Gnarly Head 2019/20 Zinfandel

Description

“Best Buy” Wine Enthusiast

If you like Orin Swift or Prisoner wines but are looking for a budget-friendly alternative, then this is the answer. The Gnarly Head Zin is a plush, ripe wine, and the array of flavours on display is dazzling.

“Very ripe, late-picked fruit flavours are well matched by generous oak accents of vanilla, nutmeg and maple syrup in this full-bodied, mouthcoating wine. The almost-sweet flavours and low tannins create a plush palate impression.”
-Wine Enthusiast

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel is made using grapes sourced from gnarled 35-80 year old head-trained vines. As some of the oldest vines in California, the fruit produced is exceptional, intense and full-flavoured. This intrepid Old Vine Zinfandel has a gnarly core of rich, jammy blackberries and mocha flavours with layers of spice and vanilla balanced by complex French and American oak toast. Try pairing this bold wine with braised short ribs, chicken enchiladas or dark chocolate.
