Description of the product
Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel is made using grapes sourced from gnarled 35-80 year old head trained vines. Because they are some of the oldest vines in California, the fruit produced is exceptional, intense, and full-flavored. 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.
Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel is crafted using grapes from select vineyards throughout the Lodi region – known as the “Zin-famous” appellation. Lodi has an ideal climate for growing exceptional grapes – warm summer days and cool nighttime breezes from the ocean, in addition to sandy, well-draining soil. The grapes are hand selected primarily from the Mokelumne River area, which is home to some of the oldest and most respected vineyards in Lodi.
