Product Notes

Gnarly Head Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel is a full-bodied and intense red wine with a deep ruby color and a complex flavor bouquet. The wine is made from the finest Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel grapes cultivated in the lush, alluvial soils of California's Central Valley. The resulting wine is rich and concentrated with notes of dark fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry, as well as hints of spice, tobacco, and vanilla. With a balanced acidity and smooth tannins, Gnarly Head Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel is perfect for pairing with hearty meat dishes, barbecue, or bold cheeses. This wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months, which adds a subtle oakiness to its flavor profile, making it a great choice for any wine enthusiast.

About the Winery
