Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin Zinfandel Review
Author: The Frugal Wino
As promised in our post about the winner for our “Next Wine To Review”..
Here is the Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin Review
Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel also won our Old Vine Zin BBQ Shootout, beating out Seven deadly Zins & Bogle Old Vine Zin. That review coming up shortly.
Heard around the web:
…this one rocks. It needs a bit to open up, but after at least 1/2 hour it has a great nose full of the briar and spice often found in more expensive Zins
Plum, vanilla and light cedar notes fill the nose of this wine
Varietal and the terroir. It has some interesting layers to peel apart.
The Gnarly Head Zin has a powerful berry punch, leading into a lengthy finish. This is a wine that is fine to drink alone, and which will hold its own with spicy food, barbeque, beef, and any other strongly flavored dish. “Old vine” Zinfandels are noted for strong fruit flavors, and the Gnarly Head is no exception.

The Seven Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel
Author: The Frugal Wino
Right now enjoying a bottle of The Seven Deadly Zins.
An Old Vine Zinfandel from the Seven Best Growers in the Lodi appellation of California. Very drinkable!
Really opens up in the glass over an hour or so.
Almost hyperventilated sniffing the developing nuance with this one lol 
Good stuff! Soon to be reviewed in an Old Vine Zinfandel video shoot out. Gnarly Head vs Seven Deadly Zins vs Bogle. That will be a good day!
This one is pretty smooth, I prefer a bolder Zinfandel like Gnarly Head but…
if you are a bit shy of a bold Zinfandel try this.
Review from Playboy.com
A sip first reveals a somewhat spicy cinnamon taste, then ripe berries and plum. A long finish, and some tannins caress the tongue and throat.
And, like a phenomenal dessert, you’ll feel your taste buds wanting more as soon as the last rush of flavor has vanished.
Beware the high alcohol content (14.9 percent): This stuff is sinfully potent, too.
