Tasting note
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold wine grown from some of the oldest vines in California. Gnarly Head’s untamed vines produce full-flavored grapes packed with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, peppercorn, and charred oak. This dense and dark wine boasts bold tannins and a generous finish for those who like unique, big wines with a little attitude.
Vinification
Older vines produce fewer bunches, with small berries yielding intense, dark fruit flavours. Harvested early in the morning while the weather is cool, allows them to warm gently during fermentation. Post fermentation, the wine is aged in a mix of American and French oak, creating a bold, structured wine with abundant fruit flavours and layered complexity.
Food Match
Enjoy this wine with a barbecue bean burger, ratatouille, or go big withbraised beef short ribs.
