2015 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel
#nb-26-17
It ain't just "Gnarly Dude", its Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin, and it is one of the better choices in the market place for a ten dollar bottle of red wine. A big jammy wine made from gnarly, twisted old vines between 30 and 80 years old from Lodi, California. So here I am, along with Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Stuck in Lodi again!"
This is a rich, jammy Zinfandel with a nose full of dark berries. The predominate flavor is blackberry, with a little plum and spice. The wine has a layer of mild tannin at the end, with gobs of big fruit in the finish. The alcohol content is 14.5% and Norm's score is 88.
This is a great wine for barbecue, and would also pair well with almost any grilled meat.
price : $9 - $12
score: 88
