NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Gnarly Head Authentic Harvest Blend is an interesting blend of three grapes - Zinfandel, Syrah, and Petite Sirah.Its deep ruby and violet hue is the first indication of the full-bodied complexity to come. On the nose, aromas of blackberry, anise, and vanilla are complemented by undertones of black pepper, clove, and mocha. On the palate, the wine has a pleasing texture and a flavor profile of ripe cherry and blackberry, interwoven with notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and baking spice. The finish is long, elegant, and balanced. Enjoy this wine with a variety of dishes from grilled meats to a dense chocolate cake.
