Gnarly Head Zinfandel Old Vine 2017

This is a full-blown wine, saturated with berry and bramble flavors, full bodied and pushing the edge of sweetness. It’s big, mouthfilling but light on tannins, giving a jammy sensation that’s supplemented with traces of dried sage and black pepper.

This intrepid Old Vine Zinfandel has a gnarly core of rich, jammy blackberries and mocha flavors 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.
