Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin is created using grapes sourced from 35 - 80 year old head-trained vines - some of the oldest vines in California. Old vines produce fewer grape clusters but the small berries yeld intense flavors.
This intrepid Old Vine Zinfandel has a gnarly core of jammy blackberry and black cherry flavors with hints of black pepper, balanced by complex American and French oak toast.
Vineyard Notes
Grapes were selected primarily from the Mokelumne River region, home to some of the oldest vineyards in the Lodi region - the "Zin-famous" appellation.
Pairings
Pour a glass or two of this bold red wine with braised short ribs, chunky chicken enchiladas or dreamy dark chocolate.
