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.

Ahhhh Old Vine Zinfandel’s. We really like these.

We have already reviewed our poll winner Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel and we loved it. The review will be posted soon.

This Old Vine Zinfandel was so good we decided to do a shoot out between three popular “Frugal” Old Vine Zins all paired with a favorite BBQ Rib recipe.

The Old Vine Zin Shootout…

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel vs Bogle Old Vine vs 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine.

We have had BBQ Ribs two nights in a row now, but we love ribs as you can see in the pictures below.

If we can get the technical (legal gobble dee gook) in order we will run a contest to win an Apple ipod for who can guess the winner, second place and third place.

Look for more info soon
