Old Vine Zinfandel
Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel makes a bold statement at first sip. Our quest for outstanding Zinfandel led us down a country road into the heart of Lodi, California revealing a sea of gnarled, 35 – 80 year-old vines pruned in a special, mop-topped way called “head trained”. True gnarly heads, these old vines yield fewer grape clusters with smaller berries than trellised vines. These mighty little berries produce intense, bold wines that are deep in color with concentrated dark fruit flavors.
Our Old Vine Zinfandel has a gnarly core of rich, dark berry flavors with layers of spice, plum, pepper and vanilla balanced by light hint of toasted oak. Break out a bottle Gnarly Old Vine Zin and pair with BBQ pork ribs, moms favorite Chili or steak fajitas.

I got really spoiled while overseas in the European theater. I could get my hands on small estate wineries from Italy and Spain. I am so glad I took the time to look for some kind of replacement for the wines that I have come to know and love from those regions. Your Old Vine Zin is awesome. I also like your Cab and Merlot. I have yet to try your Pinot Grigio but I am sure it will prove to be just as good as evey other wine you produce. As you know Georgia is not what I would call any kind of wine country but they try with the brand of grapes and vines they use. It is just not to my taste. It is tough to find the type of wine I have become accustomed to. So thanks again for putting my faith back into American vinters. Do you produce any Sangiovese or Grappa? Please let me know. Thanks and have a great day.
I am a Zinfandel lover. Gnarly Head Zin is one of the best. I serve it at Thanksgiving from a carafe and EVERYBODY rants and raves(positive) at the combination of Turkey with a red wine. Try it. Of course, it is a very good sipping wine also. I live in New Orleans; we know our wines and how to drink. Sip sip. Guntis
One of the best Zinfandels I have ever tried. It’s price for quality is unmatched. I am a true fan of this wine for life.
I bought this randomly at BevMo the other day for a dinner party. Everyone loved it! It’s so tasty!!!
This is my new favorite Zinfandel. Lots of fruit and spice and a sharp finish. A perfect food match for a grilled Delmonico steak with a blue cheese topping, which is what I had when first introduced to this wine by my son-n-law. A wise fellow he is.
This is my favorite red wine and I’ve gotten several friends and family members hooked on it too. It is so delicious! Love it.
What a tremendous wine! I enjoyed a bottle of Zinfandel last night. I lingered over each glass as if it were prime rib. It might as well have been, because the experience of enjoying
your offering was memorable! Impeccable quality from start to finish. Thank you for being being distinctly unique!
Just opened a bottle of 2010 Zin and am astonished at the quality, maturity, and fruitiness of such a young wine. I am primarily a red wine drinker, preferring Zins, Merlots and Cabernets from California, and I truly believe I have now found the ultimate Zinfandel! Definitely one to put away for a few years. I’ll be buying some more, and recommend this Zin to everybody. THANK YOU!
