Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
The Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, rich, red wine grown from some of the oldest vines in California. The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested off "head trained" vines that resemble wild bushes with twisted old trunks and branches that spread out in all directions like unruly umbrellas - truly gnarly heads. These untamed vines produce full-flavoured grapes, with dense aromas of black cherry and juicy blackberry. This dark, bold Cabernet Sauvignon has solid tannins and jammy fruit, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, freshly-cracked black peppercorn and floral violet. On the palate, flavours of dense black fruit compote and currant followed by a trio of clove, spice and earth lead to a generous, lingering finish. Try pairing this Cabernet with grilled lamb skewers, strong cheeses or a spaghetti Bolognese.
