Old Vine Zinfandel, 750 ml

Embark on a journey through the world of Gnarly Head wines, where a vision and a vine converged to create something truly extraordinary. In 2004, our winemakers set out on a mission to craft a serious Zinfandel, and their path led them to the renowned old vine Zinfandel vineyards of Lodi, located in central California.

These vigorous, gnarled vines, cultivated using the head-trained, spur-pruned method for over a century, produced an abundance of ripe, red fruit that captivated our winemakers. Inspired by this discovery, they took on the challenge of creating the biggest, boldest Zinfandel they had ever made. The result was a series of authentic, structured wines that possessed a hint of the unexpected – something truly Gnarly.

But the Gnarly Head story does not end with Zinfandel alone. Our winemakers have expanded their search, selecting grapes from some of the finest vineyards in Northern California to produce wines that embody the Gnarly house style – big, juicy, and the perfect complement to life's bold moments.

At the heart of Gnarly Head's success lies the unique characteristics of the old vines. These gnarled, resilient plants produce fewer grape clusters, but the small berries they yield are bursting with intense, concentrated fruit flavors. The resulting wines are rich and dark, with layers of spice, plum, pepper, and vanilla – a true testament to the power of these ancient vines.

Gnarly Head wines are not just about the flavors; they are about the experience. These bold, unapologetic wines are the perfect companion to a variety of bold culinary creations, from braised short ribs and chicken enchiladas to indulgent dark chocolate desserts.

The quality and character of Gnarly Head wines have been recognized by industry experts, earning them accolades such as an 88-point "Best Buy" rating from Wine Enthusiast and a Gold Medal from the World Wine Challenge.

Whether you're embarking on a bold adventure or simply savoring a moment of indulgence, Gnarly Head wines are the perfect choice to elevate your experience. Discover the beauty of the unexpected, and let the Gnarly Head story unfold in your glass.
