Gnarly Head 1924 Double Black delivers rich aromas of blackberry preserves, cocoa, raspberry and caramel, setting the stage for a juicy core of concentrated, dense blackberry and fig jam flavors that finish with a hint of baking spice. Jet black in the glass, pair this full-bodied wine with equally bold dishes: charbroiled bacon cheeseburgers, spicy sausage gumbo or pork baby back ribs slathered in BBQ sauce.

VINEYARDS

Gnarly Head 1924 Double Black Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted using grapes from select vineyards throughout the Lodi region, an area long known amongst California winemakers as the “Zin-famous” appellation. Lodi’s climate is ideal for growing concentrated, full-flavored grapes – well-draining sandy soil, warm summer afternoons and cooling nighttime breezes from the Pacific Ocean.

WINEMAKING

Fruit for this dark Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested during the cool early morning hours and then delivered immediately to the winery. Following de-stemming, the grapes were fermented slowly in stainless steel fermenters and then pressed gently into stainless steel tanks. The wine then racked onto a combination of French and American oak to age for up to nine months to further develop layers of complexity in the final blend.
